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.
