I'm packaging miBoot ATM which is something similar for power
macintoshes, together with a script to install it to an HFS filesystem.
It seemed to be the clean way.
Don't forget that Debian must distribute the source code of GPL
software, and the easier way to do this is still packaging it.
Also, miBoot can't be built from source with free software, so it must
go to contrib, don't forget it if you're in a similar situation.
