The __debug__ code does checking that complements the testing code in
the functional tests (e.g. repository check). They often catch errors
early, before they propagate somewhere where they are more difficult
to understand, or do additional tests that you'd want to know about
if you were running functional tests.
If you have some specific examples of __debug__ code that you think
shouldn't be run during functional tests, I'd appreciate seeing it.

testing code which should be run when running functional test.
In general that is not true. We have lots of asserts and if __debug__:
sections that have no relation whatsoever to functional tests.
