if you are not a developer, then basically ignore debug values. Those are for development purpose and change meaning quite often. If a value becomes more meaningful, it will be propagated to a 'real' value - as happened to i2c-errors. In your case, yes, it is most likely ths value is related to the altimeter/alt hold functionality.

Indeed, it is the raw baro altitude (without ACC Z estimation). It can be used by developers to troubleshoot the baro sensor code.

The only important debug value in V1.9 is debug2. It should remain 0 at all times. Any other value indicates a possible I2C problem; There are several old discussions on the forum that explain V1.9's debug2.
