I've done some testing using Dejavu and posted the results here:

could you please give more details about this?
I read about gptsync from:

http://sharealike.org/index.php?p=258&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

but I don't know how to properly run this (usin "bless" I guess, but
I have problems with the syntax)

ok, so first I need to partition the disk on osx and then
install refit inside debian.
does lilo has to be installed before running gptsync?

I chrooted into /target from the second console of d-i and
copied the deb package I got from your link.
I the installed it and run 
# gptsync /dev/sda

I then installed lilo and rebooted into osx; installed
refit inside osx and now I can succesfully dual boot.
Thanx alot for you help.

BTW, the patch below is needed to avoid some warnings
