It's not about me, but without knowing the history, "debug" can
look as if it is less chatty than "debug2" or even "debug1". All
log level of "debugN" are seen as DEBUG in log lines. Thus
showing "debug2" as just "debug" may obfuscate the cause of
having so many log lines.
From another view point, it can be thought as not-good that print
a value with a hidden word.
In short, I submit +1 for this.
regards.
