I just did a bit of archaeology. The answer doesn't seem to be all that interesting, sadly! Before CVS revision 2861 (2002-08-10) we were using the KDE debug stream with a single "debug area" everywhere, and we had no macro to abbreviate the kdDebug() bit in the source code, so it appeared like this everywhere: kdDebug(KDEBUG_AREA) << "message" At rev 2861 we acquired two new debug area values, KDEBUG_AREA_NOTATION and KDEBUG_AREA_MATRIX, and rev 2862 the following day introduced the RG_DEBUG, NOTATION_DEBUG and MATRIX_DEBUG shorthands: NOTATION_DEBUG << "message" At that point any debug output outside of the gui/ file hierarchy was still using cout/cerr. That changed in rev 2969 (2002-08-26) when we got sequencer and sequence manager debug areas as well. So it looks as if the RG_DEBUG type macros were introduced purely to avoid typing kdDebug(..) everywhere, since we already had the separate debug areas defined before those macros were added.
