Any reference you see to "debug" in Calibre will turn on features within Calibre to make debugging easier for the programmers (i.e. it will turn on features that show the programmers what is happening within the program so they can more easily hunt down programming errors).
Unless you're a programmer it probably isn't of much use to you, so I'd advise against turning it on.

Not quite.
The debug in Calibre leaves some of the partial conversion files around after the conversion is complete. That makes it easier to fine tune some of the customizable document structure detection features in Calibre, because you can see what the document actually looks like at the stage where those features are implemented. It's not intended for programmers, although some of those features are complex enough that you'd almost need to be a programmer to start fiddling with them.
