For normal development "Debug" should be used, for just "running" kde4
RelWithDebInfo should be used. Some time ago we had a discussion here
about fixing Debugfull for cmake 2.6 and in the course of that I added
documentation at least in FindKDE4Internal.cmake. I can't remember
wether I've put up something on the CMake page on techbase...

Ah, here it is:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/CMake#Command_Line_Variables

So if the normal "Build KDE4" pages on techbase indicate debugfull that
should be changed to Debug or RelWithDebInfo - including the first
sentence above from me.
