The guys that are doing this sort of stuff are generally staunchly against using CE and hacks in PvP, in fact much of this debug and CE stuff is for the vanilla version, the latest Steam version is a little harder to hack, so they use the original version (which can't go online) to find ID's and other buried information that is then sometimes used in CE on the current version to produce effects in vids (see vaati's latest ones with the cool camera angles for instance). This info is generally then used (by these guys) for vids about things like the Boss vs Boss vids and the Souls Fighter Firelink Showdown vids.
Pretty much the debug program is mostly used for data mining, then CE is used to implement this data in the game.
Hopefully that's within the rules, but I just wanted to clear things up a bit before everyone grabs their anti-hacker pitchforks.
