Ah, we're stupid. We didn't get the debug entry because we have 
nomodeset in the kernel command line which was suggested to fix the too 
few backlight levels.

Without nomodeset, I get the debug entry. Unfortunately booting is 
strange. It looks like it would freeze, but if you wait long enough it 
boots anyway. This is caused by radeon kms, i.e. radeon.modeset=0 fixes 
the strange booting (but then of course the vgaswitcheroo entry 
disappears again).

Best regards.
