Yes.

Because then `debug-early.el` wouldn't have a `setq` at top-level so you
could reload it in a normal Emacs session without having the unfortunate
side-effect of setting `debugger` back to `debug-early`.

IOW it would make `debug-early.el` better follow the convention that
loading an ELisp file should have "no" effect.
