>Description:
Quite a few ports do more than just build with dwarf symbols. This
often means disabling fast paths, enabling asserts or expensive
runtime checks. Among the ports that do so are www/firefox,
www/chromium, editors/libreoffice, devel/qt4, devel/glib20,
x11-toolkits/gtk20, lang/perl5* and many more. Having to set
DEBUG_DESC for every such port is unreasonable.

Alternatively, WITH_DEBUG can be renamed to WITH_DEBUG_SYMBOLS to more
accurately describe what it does. Some ports could enable the option
for PACKAGE_BUILDING and package /usr/local/lib/debug separately.
