debug=echo means each command that the script would do is echo'd and not actually performed. It is used for development/debugging of script to make sure it does things in correct sequence. I'm not sure this is a bug, but maybe the code comments could be a little more verbose than they are currently, and warn people not to leave 'debug=echo' uncommented for actual script use.
