[pubcookie-dev] RE: byez to debug config variable

[steve willey]

I've always said pubcookie should be more street ...

The debug directive was a hold over from a simpler debugging era.  In the
few remaining places were there was a debug variable I populate it with the
value from logging_level.  It's mostly the test apps that were using the
debug directive.

And yes, from a documentation stand point a single log level directive is
the right thing.

As soon as I know I'm done with my current fiddling I'll pull the change
over from the uwash3 to main.
