How to pass -X debug option to Maven plugin execution in POM

I would like to pass the mvn -X debug option to only a particular plugin execution specified in my POM, or to achieve the equivalent by other means. I don't want to pass -X to the entire mvn invocation, as that would result in too much output.

My POM looks something like this (partial):

  <build>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>

        <executions>

          <execution>

            <id>full-project-assembly</id>

            <phase>package</phase>

            <goals>

              <goal>single</goal>

            </goals>

            <configuration>

              <descriptorRefs>

                <descriptorRef>project</descriptorRef>

              </descriptorRefs>

            </configuration>

          </execution>

        /<executions>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </build>

I want only this execution of the assembly plugin to run as if with the -X option. Is there any convenient way to achieve that via the POM?

It would be easier to define a profile to run this plugin when specified at command line, and then every time you pass the debug option you also use the configured profile

I can get close to what I am looking for by adapting the answer from stackoverflow.com/questions/26526403/…, and passing -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.log.org.apache.maven.plugins.assembly=debug to the mvn command. The main difference is that gives debug output for all executions of the assembly plugin, not just the one I'm interested in.
