One obvious problem is that dbl.el works only with gcl for underlying 
lisp, but maxima works with a whole array of lisps, notably
sbcl and clisp are particularly popular, while gcl is maybe less used. 
Moreover as long as one falls on a lisp error (not a maxima
error) there are good tools for debugging such as slime. If one is 
speaking of a maxima debugger it should be lisp agnostic.
