We tried, but bitmaps are just too hard to use for most users. So we
added this sentence to the man page:
----------------------------
SSSD supports two representations for specifying the debug level. The
simplest is to specify a decimal value from 0-9, which represents enabling
that level and all lower-level debug messages.
The more comprehensive option is to specify a hexadecimal
bitmask to enable or disable specific levels (such as if you
wish to suppress a level).

Feel free to file one. I'm afraid my point of view is narrowed because I
know the code..
TBH in reality I either just use "-d 3" to see failures, "-d 7" to
use
most traffic or "-d 10" to see everything including tracing...
And this is exactly what we need to put on the troubleshooting page and
use as a general guidance.
So do we need a ticket? Martin?
