I agree, we need to have all settings in config_default, else we don't
have any central place where to look it up. Undocumented features are
not good. Doesn't harm at all to have it in the Install Tool, does it?

In an "install tool refactoring" I expect to be able to filter out
certain settings that are not interesting to configure through the UI.

While debug is just a boolean, compare with "==", else it gets confusing
if someone looks at the code.
