NAK the NAK.

debug() is exactly what is intended to be used for testing.

I don't know what exactly you mean by "verification", but I guess that
covers it, too.

Keeping this as prontf() corrupts the format of the boot messages, and
adds to the boot time without real value.

Then feel free to add a custom command to display this specific
information, but keep it off the regular, unconditionally printed boot
messages.
