Hi,
OK, it shouldn't be there in 2 places.

The current usage is good under Kernel Hacking (development),
but I can easily foresee cases where we would want user-selectable
Documentation/Kconfig options, so IMO it would be better to be
more independent (i.e., not in lib/Kconfig.debug).

Anyway, for either way that it's fixed:
