I'm not sure, but I think the messages are written to $FWDIR/log/fw.elg.

Haha, I bet the developers had a field day coming up with all these debug messages. Imagine the chaos if they were written to a random file like /etc/dmesg!

I'm going with D. The firewall logs are typically stored in the $FWDIR directory, so that seems like the most logical location for the debug messages.
