It depends - if the package you are installing knows about
a debug option then it will use it, if you do -debug you
tell it not to compile in the stuff for debug. It's
package dependent, not Gentoo.

Hi Brett, So if a package has '-debug' then
(a) does this mean that debug is not available?
or
(b) does this mean that I can optionally remove debug?

It depends on the package. If the package supports
debug
as an option then debug enables it, -debug disables it.
