All other DEBUG options are set via 

options <foo>DEBUG

try and set PCMCIADEBUG like that in a config file.

It'll bail out with a redefinition error. That's 

1. Non obvious as hell
2. Completely opposite of how every other standard debug #define gets set

This should be setup the same as any other debug arguments. If you want to
have debug turned on for something, set it via an option in the conf file.
Otherwise the extra code shouldn't even be generated.

Past that I agree with being able to set the check var via ddb. But this all
goes back to DEBUG not getting set in GENERIC builds which this violates the
premise of being able to control.
