This is one of the problems with using 'auth'; it's ambiguous whether it means 
authentication or authorization. I also think that 'auth' is sometimes used by 
writers when they're not sure which word to use.

In this case it sounds like the code is testing to see whether a push will be 
accepted. It could be that the user is known (authenticated) but is not allowed 
to do a push (not authorized). So this sounds like a test of authorization to me.

In any case I think it makes sense to leave debug messages untranslated.
