OK, understood.

The problem that I see is that we write messages to the log 
containing the way ids. This can be very confusing when the 
way is not nearly identical to the way in the input file, esp.
if the log message relates to points of a different way that was
merged into the stated way.
Maybe you can create a tag  like mkgmap:road-merge-info 
that contains the merged ids? That would at least allow 
to modify StyledConverter.getDebugName() to use that info.
