This was already solved in

    perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

    When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the
    debug
        log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message
    line.

    Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily
    redirected.
    
You can do

perf report --debug stderr 2> file ...
