Found an easy way to install Debian, resize the debian.img, and run a desktop on your rooted G1!
1. Installing Debain - has an installer.
For step 6. Do this instead:
2. Resize debain.img
3. Installing Desktop
For those who run into problems or errors while installing/downloading tightvncserver and/or LXDE follow these modifications:
1. type:
2. add after the first one:
3. Hold down the trackball and hit o
4. Hit return (to save the new sources.list)
5. Hold the trackball and hit x (to exit nano)
6. Type (enter after each one):
For Haykuro's builds [Thanks to buttkicker!]:
The procedure is same for 5.0.2H versions as well.

I am attaching two sets of files.
Use as needed.
1: debian_v21-sdcard.zip
extract to /sdcard/debian
2: debian_v21-system-sd.zip
extract to /system/sd/debian (ext2 partition)
Replace the files in the original downloaded package with the ones in this post.
If you chose option 2, remember to type
in step 4
