Hello,

There was one noticeable change in the nginx packages recently.  
Before nginx 1.9.8 we shipped nginx-debug binary (that is nginx  
configured and compiled with —with-debug option, needed for  
debugging: [A debugging log](http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html)) in  
the separate package “nginx-debug”. Since 1.9.8 this binary  
was moved to the main package. Now it is possible to start  
nginx-debug binary with the init-script:

% service nginx stop  
% service nginx-debug start

nginx-debug will use same config files.
