Me either :). I think what you said about using -i to inspect whatever
is broken applies not only to this test, but also to all other tests in
the suite.

I'd be pretty happy to see 'test_debug' go away. There are only 104 uses
of it in the tree, and I think most of them could simply be removed
without needing to touch anything else.

I've never found it useful in debugging a problem on my end, but perhaps
others have. Food for thought.
