Comment(by michaelld@…):

 I can add +debug to pyqt4 ports, but then it doesn't produce release
 version -- just debug variety.  This is undesirable: Except for rare
 occasions (just for developer debugging purposes), I -always- want a port
 to produce a release library; maybe then a debug library as well, but
 never debug alone.  PyQt4 uses SIP, not QMake, to produce the Makefiles,
 which means it'll be difficult to coerce these ports into producing
 "debug_and_release" libraries.  So, I can easily add a "debug" variant for
 folks like you who need either debugging or release libraries but not both
 -- make it not a default variant.  Since PyQt4 is detected primarily
 through PKGCONFIG, I think these changes would be automatically picked up
 by any projects linking to them.  Let me know if you want to try this
 option.  I'm still mulling over moving qt4-mac to +framework only; I
 really wish framework installs were the norm on OSX -- unfortunately they
 are the exception (and by a long shot).
