The lisp debugger doesn't know the closure form:

(setq lexical-binding t)
(defun my-test nil)
(debug-on-entry 'my-test)
=> (error "my-test is not a user-defined Lisp function")

And if the file was byte-compiled, for example:

(debug-on-entry 'shell)
(shell)
=> call-interactively: Invalid function: (lambda 256 "Run an inferior
shell, with I/O through BUFFER (which defaults to `*shell*'). [rest of
the doc string]

Thus one cannot debug most byte-compiled lisp functions (46 files
under lisp/ have declared lexical-binding).
