Comment(by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:7 Sebastian]:
 > Hrm. Maybe we should never log a notice, because it is a lie on current
 Ubuntu.  We never do anything to actually *allow* you to attach a
 debugger, and doing so is disabled by Ubuntu by default. Unless we should
 change the implementation to set the right prctl (and someone can confirm
 this works on Ubuntu)

 Maybe we can come up with a better warning, then?  Generally having a
 safety feature that's turned off is something that we want to tell people
 about.
