I didn't like it as it was a workaround for the underlying problem.

Does the deploy.ini display exceptions on standard out at least? Or is 
that also not possible? I had issues in a non-grok context where I 
didn't see anything unless I used debug.ini, and that then didn't handle 
unauthorized correctly, so I just had an imperfect experience no matter 
what I did.

I think that's a reasonable approach, keeping the debug.ini but 
documenting that it is ..um.. broken pending fixes, and in what way 
exactly. Perhaps that'll prompt fixes.
