Unless you are running netatalk to network your Debian box to an 
Apple/Macintosh network, then you can do whatever you like with them. 
They are the resource portion of a file that the Mac filesystem uses. 
Apple splits the binary and resource portion into two distinct parts and 
the AppleDouble bit is Linux creating a relevant resource for your *nix 
files, so that they can be accessed by a Mac.
