i don't consider this being a bug.

@Ionut -

Not everyone wants or needs gnome-session debug info filling up their logs. If I use gdm from this package there is no way to override this behavior (short of patching and recompiling). --debug is a gnome-session option and options should be optional, not mandatory. So if this is not a bug, please tell me what it is.

we have different visions of what is a bug in a package. We do not patch our packages, debug flag comes from upstream.
Please report it upstream

I can report it upstream. That's all you really needed to say in the first place.
