How I normally handle mine is any transaction I make from my debit card, 
I enter as a transaction in my bank account, usually using the word 
"Debit" for the ref. number field. Of course, you could use any code 
word there you wanted (ex. "Visa", "MC", "CCard", etc.) as long as you 
are consistent in using the same term. But there is no reason to 
complicate things by creating this as a separate bank account from the 
one your funds come out of. As to the rest, I'll let the developers 
answer those, though I don't see the point in not using the create a new 
account function in GNUCash itself to create any new accounts you need, 
or to create a specialized function for handling debit cards.
