Over-riding GSTREAMER_DEBUG could be done on a per-package basis too,
if there's really a need to enable debugging selectively.

However, I guess when you want to enable gstreamer debugging, you
typically want to do so through-out gstreamer and all plug-ins... and
needing to control PACKAGECONFIG for each recipe makes it harder to do
that.

Whatever happens, the GSTREAMER_DEBUG, GSTREAMER_1_DEBUG and
GSTREAMER_1_0_DEBUG duplication should probably be fixed.

I don't have a strong preference though and I'm stuck partnered with
an SoC vendor who only supports Gtreamer 0.10, so I'll be watching
from the sidelines as everyone else debugs GStreamer 1.x in oe-core
:-(
