There is no debate over the meaning of Nirvana (the state of eternal egoless existence achieved by the enlightened). there are however issues about Nirvana between the two principle schools of Buddhism (Theravada, basically in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Mahāyāna, basically in East Asia). The issue is whether people drift into Nirvana individually or whether the enlightened return to aid the unenlightened achieve enlightenment.
