Considering that this is only debugging code, I did not view this as
important enough to backport without explicit request.
Furthermore, it hadn't passed the push gate yet when I collected
the most recent batch of backports.

I just now added it to my list of pending backports.

As an aside: It would have helped (read: saved me some time) if you
had also reproduced the title of the commit instead of just the commit
ID. See Andrew's response to the original mail of this thread for an
example (the precise form doesn't matter, the conveyed information
does).
