No webpack config for `build-storybook --debug-webpack`

Describe the bug

Hi I can’t see any debug webpack output despite the option in the build-storybook --help section:

--debug-webpack     Display final webpack configurations for debugging purposes

It’s never displayed and there’s no txt log in the output directory either…

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

It works for storybook --debug-webpack but that’s not the webpack config I’m interested in. That’s a dev-server development config but I want the production static build config…

Thank you!
