Dunno about Edebug - I never use it.

But for the regular Emacs debugger, just insert a call
to function `debug' wherever you want to enter the
debugger.  `C-h f debug' tells you:
____

 (debug &rest ARGS)

 Enter debugger.  'c' returns from the debugger.
 Arguments are mainly for use when this is called from the internals
 of the evaluator.

 You may call with no args, or you may pass nil as the first arg and
 any other args you like.  In that case, the list of args after the
 first will be printed into the backtrace buffer.
____

But see the Elisp manual for more info. The most used
key is `d', not `c'.  Dunno why the doc string doesn't
mention `d'.
