IMO we should stay on a pure technical level. libstdc++ lets you use 
both debug and normal containers at the same time and moreover debug 
containers inherit from normal ones. So libstdc++ users are able to do 
things like building normal containers from debug, even if it is source 
of problems sometimes, and thanks to some already added constructors 
they are able to do the opposite. Whether they are going to do so or not 
is secondary.

According what you say current situation do not seems to be intentional 
so I will do what you propose and submit a new patch with only added 
constructors. I simply hope that a decision will be taken on the kind of 
support that should be proposed between normal and debug worlds.
