Mmm... so you did not install GRUB2 when you installed Debian, right? >>> Using GRUB2, the options 'nosplash debug --verbose' are used, but >>> Debian freezes silently. >>> How to make boot verbose to see what happen ? > (...) >> The changes you have done should be enough. > > However other options were also tried without any result.

I asked this to avoid using Ubuntu's GRUB2 and see if that way you can get any further. That's also the reason I asked for you to try SuperGrub2Disk. Another thing you can test is manually booting your Debian system from GRUB2 boot menu by reaching the command line. This way if you're lucky any error you get will be printed on the screen.
