It will give you a minimal but functional Debian system. You may have to configure a few things manually (I recall the root password, the first user account, the hostname, the network, and the sources.list). If you have a Debian system running on a different architecture, you can also debootstrap the powerpc binaries into a directory and use that as an NFS-root for netbooting your Mac (incidentally, that's how I installed my new Powerbook from the old one).
