Note that as a new builtin command, `kubectl debug` takes priority over any `kubectl` plugin named “debug”. You will need to rename the affected plugin.
Invocations using `kubectl alpha debug` are now deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release. Update your scripts to use `kubectl debug` instead of `kubectl alpha debug`!
