This command doesn't print any debugging information:

   gammu --debug textall identify

This sort-of works:

   gammu --debug-file log --debug textall identify

It creates the log file, but then it leaves in empty and prints the
debugging information on stderr. Huh?

I think that is normal, the upstream project provided those debug features for
dev builds only, while the Debian packaging is a release one.

As per me it does not make sense to change the Debian packaging to a much
slower debug build.
