I can't say anything definitive about the Business-level remote 
debugging mechanism, but I can say that with PowerDebug you can ship a 
standalone app with breakpoints intact without problems. Breakpoints 
have (almost) no effect in standalone apps unless there is a debugger 
waiting around to catch the traceBreak etc messages. (The 'almost' in 
that sentence is because each invocation of a breakpoint command will 
issue a traceBreak message, but the effect is the same as dispatching 
any message that doesn't get handled, and is too small to be measured. 
Since the built-in remote debugger works in a similar fashion over a 
socket connection, I can't imagine there would be any difference.
