I have to tell you that I am a loyal debianista myself...by nuke my Tiger install on my new, two-week old iBook...NEVER! Seriously, Tiger rocks. It works flawlessly, and it isn't Windows. If you're going to do anything, just dual-boot...and keep your rebuild disks close by. I'm not saying you'll abandon Debian, but I think you will come to really like OS X and you'll keep your Debian install somewhere else.
Just my two cents.
