Actually, looking at the code I suspect that the intention was for this
to be } else if (debug) { otherwise some things get duplicated. There's
a later else and why should you be allowed specific components together
with -all but not with -debug.

Whenever a command takes a list, it can be useful if the default is to
do nothing because it makes it easier if you generate that list from a
script and the result might be empty. That's all I can think of.
