Comment (by darkdragon):

 I can't think of any one solution that would best implement this, so I'm
 just going to develop each of my ideas and have the core team choose the
 best one that works best.

 The ideas I have so far.

 1. A file that is included if WP_DEBUG is defined and {{{wp-
 content/debug.php}}} exists. A function will exist that will call the
 functions in that file or fail if WP_DEBUG is not defined and wp-
 content/debug.php doesn't exist.

 The reason for this method is that, you'll want the function definition
 early enough to catch any mistakes during the installation. This kind of
 prevents the functions going into pluggable.php.

 2. If installation errors are not important, then a pluggable function can
 go into pluggable.php and can be used to replace the normal !WordPress
 debug call. I'm thinking about doing this anyway.

 3. Defining a function in wp-settings.php that is pluggable and can be
 replaced if {{{wp-content/debug.php}}} exists. This does mean that the
 function definition must exist in {{{wp-content/debug.php}}} also.

 There you have it, three methods I'm unsure about which one is the best,
 so I'm just going to develop all three.
