Subject: Why does "make oldconfig" always set CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y ?

I'm wondering why this option is always set after "make oldconfig" :

tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ grep _SLUB_DEBUG=y .config
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ sed -i -e 's/_SLUB_DEBUG=y/_SLUB_DEBUG=n/' .config
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ grep _SLUB_DEBUG= .config
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ make oldconfig 1>/dev/null
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ grep _SLUB_DEBUG= .config
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y

I attached the .config
