yes... but the key marked "alt" on an apple keyboard should actually be "altgr".
go into MacOS X and see for yourself...

so it should be:
 	Ctrl_L on the left control key
 	Super_L on the left Option/Alt key
 	Alt_L on the left Apple/Command key
 	Alt_R on the right Apple/Command key
 	Super_R on the right Option/Alt key
 	Ctrl_R on the right control key

it seems silly to have Debian and MacOS disagree about what the keymapping
should be.

cheers,
Sam
