Agreed. We could also simply print the propname in the dm_warn() call 
and keep the one at the top of the function to use dm_debug() instead.

But then we'll have a bunch of functions printing one of their 
parameters and "(not found)" for example. A bit odd to me. But on the 
theoretical level, I agree, enabling the appropriate symbol would 
already add that line, it's just that I see limit use of those messages 
if it's not set.

Thanks for the review!
