I would say don't. Get an ADSL router then make Debian talk over ethernet.

I agree with this comment. Purchase a Cable/DSL Broadband router to put on top of your network so that it no longer matters what your ISP provides.
I've had Cable, DSL, Satellite, Microwave, and WiFi Broadband services over the last few years and all through the same Broadband router. It sucks sometimes to have to fork out more money for hardware up front but in the long run it more than makes up for it.
In terms of which Broadband router to get... that depends on your use. I would recommend a 4 port device even if you only have 1 pc. Who says you will not need more ports in the future? As to the vendor... here are a few recommendations taken from my experiences with them.
I recommend: Netgear, Linksys, Zyxel
I stay away from: SMC, D-Link, Microsoft, Belkin...
*DISCLAIMER:
I have owned, used, installed, numerous broadband routers at home and for many clients in the past 8 years. Other's may have had better experiences with the vendors I recommend against. Let us know how it goes.
