Actually it should be as presented in "cld --help" and "cldcli --help": 
  an integer, whose increasing value indicates increasing verbosity. 
Higher values enable really verbose output, such as per-packet output.

So, the programs themselves have it right -- debug/verbose is an integer 
not a bool.  The internal libraries get that wrong sometimes, though.

Having separate knobs for 'debug' and 'verbose' will be more confusing 
than a single control, IMO.
