I do see now that the debug mode isn't doing anything else. However, there may be a use for it in the future, so I still prefer an option to only keeps the daemon in the foreground, without invoking the debug mode. I've seen your other message, where you mentioned that the code now reads and acts upon "do-daemonize" in the config file. That is sufficient for me.
