No, it isn't. Booting grub from the EFI system partition works just fine
here, however, you might need to use the "bless" utility within OSX to
get grub to boot by default. (The latter could be obsolete information.)

[Side note: I only keep OSX around so that I can get firmware updates,
but ironically, so far, they have broken more stuff than they fixed]

Not really. Once you've made space for Debian, install as usual, and
that should be it.
