Switching default log4j threshold

I spent 30 minutes being frustrated that I couldn't see any changes 
affected by adding DEBUG packages to our log4j config file.  No mater 
what I did, my console wouldn't show the additional output.

I realized it was the Threshold setting in our config file.

Anyone object if I bump this to DEBUG?  Why would we permanently want to 
hide DEBUG from the console output.  Seems pointless
