Most probably you will not need to do that since this is the default
behaviour of the WRT. The public (modem) interface gets its IP address

Why?

ACK. But to dial in, you probably have to tell the WRT your login
credentials. This is easily done in the web interface.

Ok, now I am sure you do not know what you are doing? :) But it doesn't
matter, just keep DHCP on the WRT enabled, plug in your Debian box and
try to dial in.
