No, it should definitely not linked to debug-on-error. debug-on-error
doesn't really work: it changes the meaning of important macros such
as condition-case-unless-debug or with-demoted-errors. debug-on-error
only makes sense in interactive mode, where the user is actually able
to debug such "demoted" errors.
