-debug=1 should show all debug messages #4219

It's correctly documented that to get all debug messages one needs to provide the option -debug= (without categories). However, this appears to be counterintuitive, people expect to enable it with debug=1 like other boolean options.

(and as there is no feedback for wrong options, this can be frustrating)

I agree, it should behave that way.
