debug.eclass is dead now

Hi,

Don't use debug.eclass.

A team of crackpot developers gangbanged the tree (hi beu!) and remove
all the nasty inherit lines, and then Diego added a deprecation message
in the eclass.

People with overlays utilizing debug.eclass will get many annoying
messages prompting them to stop inheriting debug eclass. This was done
intentionally to prompt overlay owners to fix their ebuilds.

If you inherit the eclass in gentoo-x86, repoman will spam the hell out
of you during your commit, so DON'T DO IT.

Thanks,

Alec and Diego, and Ryan Hill, and some other people I'm leaving out.

Pardon what may be a stupid question here, but what's the fix/workaround for using
the debug.eclass ?

Simply stop using it. Drop it from the inherit line, and if your ebuild
has a legitimate use of the debug flag, put that in IUSE. There is no
need to restore the functionality that the eclass provided, since that
didn't belong in ebuilds/eclasses in the first place.
