Years ago, DEBUG() was used in interactive programs for communication,
not just output.  But that doesn't translate etc, so d_printf() et al
was done.  My hunch is that this is the origin, and I'll be glad to see
it go away.

I thought we tried this once before, only to have it die a horrible
death in autobuild.  Either way, Reviewed-by: Andrew Bartlett
<abartlet at samba.org> and I or someone else can autobuild it if there are
no further objections. 

We were going to follow this up with removing many of the wrong
location/function prefixes. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
