Martin: As a rationale lets say that I had to debug why doesn't my program display any debug messages when I tell it to. Is it important enough for an SRU? I have no idea, it affects only developers who has probably either already moved on to maverick, found bug and fixed it themselves or decided to work around it. It doesn't affect users directly. Only those who need debug messages for some reason may have a problem finding them.

All that this configure flag changes in source is setting DEBUG_MESSAGES which sets custom handler for G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG messages, enables some g_debug messages in code and calls debug_print_headers for all headers from SoupMessage. Maybe Rodrigo can say more about the regression potential then me.

As for the test case I can write a simple C program that shows the problem (I don't think I can access g_debug from python). Would that be sufficient?
