Two things: if we replace stuff like sysinit by proper C code things become less fragile and hence you need to debug less. and secondly, bash is actually a pretty shitty debugger, especially when there are a lot of scripts running in parallel. For debugging purposes we should offer better tools, and some of that we already implemneted: if you pass "systemd.confirm_spawn=1" on the kernel command line you have the option to single-step through a serialized startup. Tools like that I believe are much more appropriate for debugging the startup process.
