I don't understand what you think is "gone".

AFAICS it's all still there, as I expected:

src/klauncher/klauncher.cpp:    mSlaveDebug = QString::fromLocal8Bit(qgetenv("KDE_SLAVE_DEBUG_WAIT"));
src/klauncher/klauncher.cpp:    mSlaveValgrind = QString::fromLocal8Bit(qgetenv("KDE_SLAVE_VALGRIND"));
src/klauncher/klauncher.cpp:        mSlaveValgrindSkin = QString::fromLocal8Bit(qgetenv("KDE_SLAVE_VALGRIND_SKIN"));

The only thing that seems outdated in sections 1, 2 and 3 is that kdeinit4 is now kdeinit5.

kdebugdialog, on the other hand, is now kdebugsettings in playground, ask Laurent.
Well, kde_projects.xml to the rescue:
http://projects.kde.org/projects/kdereview/kdebugsettings

Now that section (How to get debug output) certainly needs an update, for categorized logging instead of kDebug.
