Unfortunately not. It requires some manual intervention at the moment,
especially for the PowerPC images as I have to manually inject the
hfsprogs and partman-hfs packages into debian-installer.
Also, one always needs to make sure that the kernel in the debian-installer
image matches the kernel that is currently in unstable, otherwise you get
kernel/module version mismatch.
The former issue could be resolved if someone could find out how to boot
a PowerPC Mac from a FAT32 boot partition. It's supposed to work but I never
verified that.
If someone could test that, I can implement that and we won't have to resort
to HFS which causes some headache since the APSL license of hfsprogs is
considered non-free by Debian.
