There is word play here.
They are debug CSA checkers. But not all of them are debugging the CSA. Many of 
them are just utility checkers that could be just as easily a clang-tidy 
debug/utility checkers:

  $ scan-build -h | grep "   debug."
     debug.AnalysisOrder             Print callbacks that are called during 
analysis in order       <- for CSA debugging
     debug.ConfigDumper              Dump config table                          
                    <- for CSA debugging
     debug.DumpCFG                   Display Control-Flow Graphs                
                    <- 
     debug.DumpCallGraph             Display Call Graph                         
                    <- 
     debug.DumpCalls                 Print calls as they are traversed by the 
engine                <- for CSA debugging
     debug.DumpDominators            Print the dominance tree for a given CFG   
                    <- 
     debug.DumpLiveVars              Print results of live variable analysis    
                    <- 
     debug.DumpTraversal             Print branch conditions as they are 
traversed by the engine    <- for CSA debugging
     debug.ExprInspection            Check the analyzer's understanding of 
expressions              <- for CSA debugging
     debug.Stats                     Emit warnings with analyzer statistics     
                    <- for CSA debugging
     debug.TaintTest                 Mark tainted symbols as such.              
                    <- for CSA debugging
     debug.ViewCFG                   View Control-Flow Graphs using GraphViz    
                    <- 
     debug.ViewCallGraph             View Call Graph using GraphViz             
                    <- 
     debug.ViewExplodedGraph         View Exploded Graphs using GraphViz        
                    <-
