There already is a global debug output if nothing handled
the error (last errback run should return e.g. None).
The traceback is dumped to the log. But it is only run
when the Deferred is garbace collected, so if something
that has infinite lifetime holds a reference to it, it
won't be triggered until shutdown. There's no way to do
this globally earlier, because you don't know whether
a new errback will be added later..
