While being a "nvidia-guy" myself (long before ATI was bought by AMD), 
out of curiosity, I've asked myself "what would I do" and looked into 
AMD driver support in Debian.
And to my surprise, I didn't found a simple way like "amd-driver" 
meta-package to install, as opposed to "nvidia-driver" package for 
nvidia-based VGAs.
So, if I were you, I would bite the bullet and use latest official 
driver [1] provided by AMD, simply because there are no other options.
Upon further examination "*.deb" packages they provide will be installed 
into paths with "*/opt/*" and because of that, they won't overwrite any 
Debian-native files, so there is little to none possibility to create 
"franken-debian" by installing them. And since they are packaged into 
".deb" files you can always cleanly uninstall them.
The only thing I would do prior to driver installation is to enable i386 
architecture support [2] on my system, if it wasn't enabled already:
     # dpkg --add-architecture i386

I wonder why a convenient "amd-driver" meta-package wasn't created yet...
