I'm having problem interpreting the man and wiki pages correctly.  I'd like
to turn on debug-level logging for snmptrapd to help debug a different
issue.

The line I tried adding in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf is the following:

logOption LS7d

I thought that meant:

L == logging
S == syslog, with uppercase S meaning I want to specify the level
7 == syslog debug level
d == daemon facility, which normally goes to /var/log/daemon.log

Problem is I'm definitely not seeing debug-level logging.  The only thing I
see in /var/log/daemon.log are these messages when I restart net-snmp:

Apr 18 14:03:34 Stephane-dev-vm snmpd[22700]: Received TERM or STOP
signal...  shutting down...
Apr 18 14:03:34 Stephane-dev-vm snmptrapd[22703]: 2012-04-18 14:03:34
NET-SNMP version 5.4.2.1 Stopped.
Apr 18 14:03:34 Stephane-dev-vm snmptrapd[22703]: Stopping snmptrapd
Apr 18 14:03:36 Stephane-dev-vm snmpd[22718]: Turning on AgentX master
support.
Apr 18 14:03:36 Stephane-dev-vm snmpd[22718]: NET-SNMP version 5.4.2.1
Apr 18 14:03:37 Stephane-dev-vm snmptrapd[22721]: NET-SNMP version 5.4.2.1
AgentX subagent connected
Apr 18 14:03:37 Stephane-dev-vm snmptrapd[22722]: NET-SNMP version 5.4.2.1

If someone can help me understand the right format for that logOption line,
I'd be very happy!  :)
