 A little OT, but under what circumstances would a developer require a
 debug board?

A debug board would have 2 main uses for me:

1) a serial console so you can debug problems with X or initscripts
2) access to jtag so you fix the bootloader if something went wrong with uboot

A 'regular user' should never need 2) and 1) can be done with usb-ethernet 
emulation if
needed.

*nod* 2) is a very valid reason. 1) we no longer need since Hardware
Wizard LaF0rge added an usbtty emulation to U-Boot!
