[systemd-devel] [PATCH v2] use systemd.debug on the kernel command line, not "debug"

Just as a small not to user typos, perhaps we should also check for
"system.debug"? It's a bit of a namespace crime, but it might avoid some
unneeded round trips requesting logs from users.

While it's now practically impossible for me to type the word "system"
_without_ putting a "d" on the end, many people triaging boot bugs at a
distro level will be advising users to edit their command prompt and
append "debug systemd.debug" and send in their logs which could easily
be misread by novice users, especially if they are totally unaware of
what systemd is (they may never even have heard the name before) - not
everyone who needs to collect debug information is a developer after all.

Just a small thought.

Cheers

Col
