Details

pacman 5.0.2-2's makepkg.conf(5) describes `OPTIONS=(...)' and says it lists the default values.
It then describes each of the values.
`debug' is the last to be described.
Its default value is not in the header along with the others.
This task depends upon

Two things:

1) The manpage is misleading. Removing the OPTIONS array from /etc/makepkg.conf would not cause the defaults shown in the manpage to be assumed.
2) I don't see *any* default values listed for the given options.

You should simply assume that if an option is not explicitly enabled, it's disabled.

Actually, the defaults are defined de facto in libmakepkg itself. The defaults are (!strip docs libtool staticlibs emptydirs !zipman !purge !debug) which is fairly conservative but also disagrees with the manpage. The manpage should be fixed.

Similar logic applies to BUILDENV. I'll post a patch shortly.
