'if [ -n "${name}" ]' is simpler than 
'getarg --name name --set name;if [ -n "${name}"]'.
Not sure if 'if $cmd' is supposed to work, but either way your proposal
looks strange.

And regarding $debug itself, with my change its set very early before
any script runs. Perhaps that is useful to debug early issues.
