   * DebugB is provided as a binary file that is a special purpose build. It can only be used in boot loaded mode.

 I believe that lDebug wins out here as part of its "go everywhere, do everything" theme. However, disk space and memory requirements are larger for current lDebug than for a special purpose build that can only be used in one mode. (The disk space obviously only wins out if you do not need multiple different special purpose builds where one all purpose build could do.) I'm now considering adding build time conditionals to create special purpose builds like this from the lDebug sources.
