For the mac, there exists no directory in the install folder, ie

It would be if emile was used on the ISO to make it bootable; but I
don't think it can already do that.

EMILE can, but it needs to copy a driver from an Apple bootable CD,
that is not compatible with Debian policy:

http://emile.sourceforge.net/SNAPSHOT/cdboot-sarge-0.11CVS.bin.bz2

You can also use EMILE from a floppy to load kernel image from the ISO:

Is that driver redistributable? We could build a non-free image.

I should ask Apple to know...
