Yeah - I totally changed what --debug did in migration v2, and this is
stale. The legacy behaviour was unhelpful on any non-trivial guest.
It is possibly worth noting that you typically do see changed data when
using --debug, because of how the front/back pairs work. This was a bit
of a curveball during development.
