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.
