Can i get a copy of the partition map of this one ? Or better yet, send it as bug report to the parted package ? What version of mac-os-x was this anyway ? > I switched to a shell and used "mac-fdisk" to create a Apple Bootstrap > partition, a Linux Swap partition and a Linux partition for a > big ext3 root filesystem.

It does if you ask it about it, parted and libparted based tools should handle this just fine. mac-fdisk is kinda obsoleted. > Are you having automatically support for Mac Partition Maps in the Debian > Installer? Sure. But then maybe apple created some bug or incompatiblity with their latest version of mac os x ?
