I want to keep those knobs as they are.

Furthermore I don't think it's a good idea at all to unify all debug knobs 
into one universal WITH/WITHOUT_DEBUG - it requires the user to use a third 
party portmanager utilitiy or fiddling with conditionals in make.conf if he 
wants debug symbols on specific ports only.
