Well at least in case of OVMF, the OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc file says:


[BuildOptions]
...
  GCC:RELEASE_*_*_CC_FLAGS             = -DMDEPKG_NDEBUG
  INTEL:RELEASE_*_*_CC_FLAGS           = /D MDEPKG_NDEBUG
  MSFT:RELEASE_*_*_CC_FLAGS            = /D MDEPKG_NDEBUG


And the DEBUG() macro's definition in
"MdePkg/Include/Library/DebugLib.h" depends on MDEPKG_NDEBUG:

/**
  Macro that calls DebugPrint().

  If MDEPKG_NDEBUG is not defined and the DEBUG_PROPERTY_DEBUG_PRINT_ENABLED
  bit of PcdDebugProperyMask is set, then this macro passes Expression to
  DebugPrint().

  @param  Expression  Expression containing an error level, a format string,
                      and a variable argument list based on the format string.


**/
#if !defined(MDEPKG_NDEBUG)
  #define DEBUG(Expression)        \
    do {                           \
      if (DebugPrintEnabled ()) {  \
        _DEBUG (Expression);       \
      }                            \
    } while (FALSE)
#else
  #define DEBUG(Expression)
#endif
