I don't know about edebug and defun*, but for optional parameters, you
don't need defun*.

  (defun foo (&optional baz bla))

is perfectly valid standard elisp.  For &key, you need defun*.  But
keyword parameters are optional anyway, so your above definition should
read like

  (defun* foo (&key (arg t)))
