On using --debug flags (was: gpg generate key is not finishing)

Pretty please do not use --debug-all. It is better to use dedicated
debug flags to get useful logs and avoid leaking secrets. All GnuPG
components support symbolic debug constants; use for example

gpg --debug help

to view them. In many cases

--debug ipc

is helpful and won't reveal any long term secrets. The very first thing
after a problem is to use --verbose which often is enough to see what's
wrong. Only then try the debug constants.
