basically, accessing a netatalk pre7 share and manipulating, pulling/pushing
files/folders from OS X 10.0.4 against a SuSE 7.2 server works for me.
There are some obnoxious problems with access rights, though.
My configure options are:
--enable-dropkludge --enable-cnid-db --enable-suse --enable-fhs
--with-shadow --with-tcp-wrappers
where I manually applied some patches beforehand to a) accommodate to
changes introduced with SuSE 7.2 and b) get cnid-db working -- thanks
to Joe Clarke!
However, I've had massive trouble with cnid (no data loss, though),
therefore I'd strongly recommend to stay away from cnid for a production
environment at this time.

no idea ... I don't even know why to even use Debian -- no bashing meant,
apparently it is good for some purposes, but nobody told me which they are.
Is it for novices, or eventually for reliable servers with limited
functionality? No idea yet.
I hope this helps to some extent and keeps your trust into the
evolution of netatalk,
