No, I don't think they do - and the discussion on this list earlier 
demonstrates this. For instance, its not clear that the "release" 
version still allows the use of WingIDE and other python development tools.

Debug is generally only for debugging some of the C++ libraries, like 
wx. I've been working at OSAF for a year now and I haven't done a debug 
build in over 8 months.. I've gotten by just fine. I think this might be 
worth mentioning.
