I don't think this is too far away for you :) Anyway, I somehow expect
somebody on this list to provide a more-or-less complete solution, but
the thing you should ultimately do is:

1) Learn basics of Lisp (and really, all you need here is the basics)

2) Write a function which does what you want and bind it to RET key
      *) the function should check if buffer name ends with *.c
      *) the function should get current line contents (think of
         functions buffer-substring, point, beginning-of-line, etc.)
      *) compare it with what do you want (string-match maybe?)
      *) either insert "\n" or "; DBG\n"

   And also, try "C-h i C-s elisp RET" :)

3) And that's it :)

No, seriously, after you are done with the above come back with your
solution and somebody will certainly provide you with a lot of
hints... but you will at least understand what is going on :)

I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code!
