The debug controller is used to show information relevant to the cgroup its css'es are attached to. So it will be very hard to use if we relocate to /sys/kernel/debug, for example. Currently, nothing in the debug controller other than debug_cgrp_subsys are exported. I don't see any risk of having dependency on that controller from other parts of the kernel. >> in meaning.
