clarify profile used for 'cargo install --debug'

TIL that the profile used by `cargo build` is called `dev`, not `debug`. That made me wonder, is that profile also used by `cargo install --debug` (despite the name of the flag being `--debug`, not `--dev`)? Turns out the answer is yes, but the first 2 places where I looked for help did not say that. So this PR changes those two places to be explicit about this.
