"The Debian Project is pleased to announce the official release of Debian GNU/Linux version 4.0, codenamed etch, after 21 months of constant development. Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of eleven processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME and Xfce desktop environments. It also features cryptographic software and compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.1 of the LSB. Using a now fully integrated installation process, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 comes with out-of-the-box support for encrypted partitions. This release introduces a newly developed graphical frontend to the installation system supporting scripts using composed characters and complex languages; the installation system for Debian GNU/Linux has now been translated to 58 languages." Update: Debian 3.1r6 has also been released. Update II: Screenshots, and how to upgrade to it.

Well no, the new kernel(you need a custom one anyways) isn't the big hold back on the macbooks. It's more of the small things, like touchpad, grub, wireless, ...
I tell you once and for all, macbooks are the last piece of hardware to run linux well out of the box 
I just wondered if you still needed to do as much work as normally is required, see http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook for all the horrors. (in comparison to my dell laptop where by default everything works)

It'd be very weird if it hasn't, as 4.0 has a much newer kernel...
