Yes, I think this is a good idea, as I stepped also in the same problem.
I tend to first activate debug when I have not working SPL code ... but
this is not possible for example on running systems ... on the other side,
this problem should raise only in the development state ...

The same for other places ... like UBI ... see my question [1].
It would be nice to have this ubi errormessages enabled, but this cost a
lot of space ...

But for this patch, I think it is okay to enable it by default ... so:
