I totally agree with that; it's just that having 127 _unobviously_
named DEBUG knobs is also totally useless.

E.g., for audio/arts, do I need to set 'WITH_KDE_DEBUG=yes' to get
debugging symbols? I don't know and I can't quickly look it up.

Michael's proposal for 'WITH_<portname>_DEBUG' is ultimately the way
to go.
