Well, I am kind of XEmacs expert, but since DVC switched to
package-maint I experience built problems which are had to
debug as no backtrace is generated
In order to track down things like that I once added the
(setq debug-on-error t) below.

But my actual question was, how to debug these. You could
cause similar problems in GNU Emacs, so how do you debug
them?
