I was reviewing this ticket and talks about a default value to verbosity.

althought i'm not sure if is about the sssd debug level or other case.

If the case of debug level:

Reading theory in
   http://sgallagh.fedorapeople.org/sssd/1.8.91/man/sssd.conf.5.html
in section debug_level (integer) mentions that:

  "0x0010 is the default value as well as the lowest allowed value"
  "0x0010: Fatal failures. Anything that would prevent SSSD from starting up or causes it to cease running."

If you want to use a higher debug level is changed in sssd.conf-> debug_level = (desired level is placed).

By not specifying on command line flag, is used the indicated in sssd.conf ->debug_level.

If specified in command line debug_level first uses the command line, this was corrected in the ticket https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/764

In the case concerned from that, the flag already exists.
