   As mentioned in [either some back-and-forth with KAM (who wrote the original 
SSL support) and giovanni, and/or the tickets/notes here], the debugs were 
mainly added to try and figure out the actual SSL issues I was debugging, since 
at that point you can't easily debug it with wireshark (encrypted), and a bunch 
of opaque tls-encoded strings in a debugger are....bad, especially since it 
requires a build with debug symbols, which most users in the field reporting an 
issue won't have.  
   
   (In spamd, you'd just stick a couple of warn's in and be done with it, but 
since spamc requires a recompile...yeah, annoying).
   
   If you can think of other places we'd like to add debugs, I'll happily add 
them, either to a different -Option or just make them spit out with the SSL 
debugs.
   
   I'd argue that since this push was related specifically to ssl, it makes 
sense to not have this feature a full debug-featureset insert.
