Err, are you sure about all your details above?  You do realise when
debugging is disabled there is no debug code included anywhere in the
decompressor?

I think what you're referring to is not the debug output, but the normal
decompressor output.  (The "Decompressing Linux..." message is not
debug output.)

Let's be a little more clear about what "less capable" means - it will
be unable to report any errors that occur during the decompression.
What that means is that you'll end up with mere silence should an
error occur.
