Enabled debugging helps us developers _a lot_. There seems to be a performance 
penalty, but the biggest part in that is writing to the console. If we (or 
you) manage to set the default verbosity to 1 (only errors), the performance 
with debug enabled should be almost the same as without. But back-traces and 
activated logging are much better...

I am dreaming of a nightly service that creates trunk-packages when something 
changes. But trunk is allowed to break although its not very common, so I 
wouldn't make that a distributions default package.

Have fun,
