Yes, this is indeed the functionality that I'm looking for. I do see now 
that the debug mode isn't doing anything else. However, there may be a use 
for it in the future, so I still prefer an option to only keeps the daemon 
in the foreground, without invoking the debug mode.

I've seen your other message, where you mentioned that the code now reads 
and acts upon "do-daemonize" in the config file. That is sufficient for 
me.
