Yes, exactly that, but you need to enable debian repositories on the
sources.list file, update and install.

emgrip will remove the fat (useless files for embedded development),
the draw back is that you do not get automatically fatfree upgrades
for the package. Another question, it is if this package could be
added to grip at emdebian.org, but it might not be possible right now.

You can install emdebian-grip and read the manual page or visit:
  http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/emdebian/man/emgrip.html

You might find slightly outdated but still useful information about
emdebian package policy at:
http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianPolicy
