Can you just check if GetTrapAddress($A9FF)<>GetTrapAddress(UnImplTrapNum)?
This will, of course, only tell you if -somebody- has installed a debugger,
not necessarily whether -macsbug- has.  ($A9FF is the _Debug trap.)  Check out
Tech Note #156 for info on GetTrapAddress and its bigger sibling, 
NGetTrapAddress.
