Then I figure that this is NOT, in fact, an issue of merging Ubuntu patches OR an issue related to pommed but a bug with g-p-m recognizing MacBooks in Debian. I've retitled the bug appropriately. Does anyone have a clue as to where I would look? I'm thinking Ubuntu configures something to make this work that Debian does not for some weird reason...
