Sure in [1], meanwhile moved it to [2].  The patch itself is outdated,
but the scripts that produce it should still work.

Sure, debug output that is pure noise, should be removed.  Some should
be throttled using a higher debug level (and not commented out) and
really useful ones should stay, but turned to QgsDebugMsg.

Using QgsDebugMsg just enables debug output in debug builds
(-DQGISDEBUG) - release build wouldn't have no such noise.

I think - except for debugging purposes - there should be no direct
output to cout/cerr at all in a gui application.
