twisted.python.log needs to be rewritten to support more modular
logging; the new API would be "log.msg(something, interface=IFoo)" where
IFoo might be IMessage, or IHTTPRequest for the webserver log, etc.. We
don't have thay yet, unfortunately. log.debug() as it works now is just
broken, it doesn't add anything to log.msg() in a reasonable way.
