Oh, we use the same variable name GhcDebugged to mean two different things: in the GHC build system it means that GHC was compiled with -debug, but in the testsuite build system it means that GHC was compiled with -DDEBUG. How confusing!
Anyway you're right - there doesn't seem to be a bug, but we should rename things to avoid confusion. I'll do that.
So it seems that it is simply the wiki documentation that is wrong here.
I didn't check the wiki, just got confused by the source. Please go ahead and fix the wiki if there's something wrong there.
done, in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Adding If you rename compiler_debuggeed() as well (and not just the test-runner-internal GhcDebugged), make sure to update that page as well.
