Emile is not that important unless you want to build a bootable installer CD for a mac (in the past, Debian/m68k installers were never bootable on Macs). The Penguin bootloader requires that you boot into MacOS first, but it works on all Mac models. (Emile didn't when I tried it a few years ago). The disadvantage of Penguin is the cost of a minimal MacOS partition (about 25 MB -- not much compared to a Debian installation). OTOH, I found that having a small MacOS parition is an advantage for system recovery and for kernel and driver testing and development.
