Summary: -debug option not working

Initial Comment: -debug option from wikipedia.py is supposed to work for all scripts, right? and the purpose of it is to yield output to screen and log files without actually editing live pages? I tried to use it with interwiki.py script but it seems not working as expected. Even with this option specified as one of parameters, interwiki.py makes edits on pages. Could you please make -debug option working for interwiki.py as well, please?

Message: global debug option is for development purposes only and hidden in -help option. Normally it does nothing except setting pecial_page_limit to 500. In basic.py the old -debug option has changed to -dry which prevents editing pages.
