-1 on this because it moves in the opposite direction of namespace
clarity. systemd should not use both more verbose, namespaced versions
of kernel options and abbreviated, non-namespaced versions of the
same. At least do sd.dbg or similar; we already use "sd" as a
namespace prefix elsewhere.

With respect to the main change suggested in this thread, I'm a +1 for
systemd.debug, especially because it's consistent with log level
options.
