I don't think you need the recent open firmware update for Debian.
For a relative Linux tyro like me, the Debian PPC learning curve on the
install and configuration was a bit flat (particularly for a laptop
install). Partition scheme, yaboot config, and some of the GNOME/KDE package
dependencies, among others.
That being said, it's a terrific Debian version once you get things nailed
down. I wasn't sure what to expect vs. my experience with the x86 Debian,
but I'm impressed. You Deb PPC folks rock.
