Your use of the word "debugging" does not even make sense.  "debugging
LilyPond's layout decisions" implies that you find a bug in the way
LilyPond makes its layout decisions and fix this way.

But the principal purpose of what you call "Debug" mode is _not_ to find
and remove bugs in LilyPond itself, but rather to help with adjusting
the parameters of LilyPond source files.

"De-bug" means removing bugs.

Now you can, of course, call the Frescobaldi menus any name you like.
But don't ask for feedback when you don't want it.
