Hm.  I'm not all that familiar with this debugging interface -- I
usually use edebug, so I'm not quite sure what people expect from this
thing.

So here's my test case:

(defun foo ()
  (dotimes (i 2)
    (message "foo")))

and `M-x debug-on-entry' on foo, `M-: (foo)', just hitting `d' a lot
does what I'd expect -- stepping through all the code.  It does not seem
to step the through the macro expansion itself.  (At least not in Emacs
27.1 or 28.)
