I disagree here. Adding a css class isn't a solution IMO. I use this 
feature to group debug output in a more flexible way:

debug($foo, -3);
debug($bar, 1);
debug($baz, 1);

I am not against removing features as this mostly reduces complexity of 
the product. But we should not remove features
- without a (short) discussion
- without adding a note to extension developers
- without patching places in the core that are affected (at least 2 
occurrences)

OTOH I use the debugger (Netbeans, XDEBUG) to debug more complicated issues.

Regards
Jochen
