The obvious answer is, don't set any debug in ipsec.conf. You are really
asking "how can i avoid debug logs when specifying debug logs".

The NO_DEBUG option was really only for old embedded systems, where RAM
was a serious issue. But we are talking about 1999 now. With today's
hardware, even embedded stuff, there is no valid reason to compile without
debug, and we have not tested it and might have even already started
removing support for it at places.

You could hack pluto or whack to ignore any --debug-* parameters.
