The variable is there for three reasons:
1) legacy code (mostly inside gst-plugins) that wasn't cleaned up yet and
still doesn't know about debugging categories.
2) rapid prototyping: You can easily do s/printf/GST_DEBUG/ with your
debugging output while developing and not care about it anymore.
3) it's easier for our users if they don't get errors. "I got errors with
GST_DEBUG, therefore it sucks and I use ptintf again" is not what I want
:)
