These people support linux on cheap tablets: https://pengpod.com/products (dual boot with android - linux on the SD, but a lot more open than most random hardware you can buy) I don't actually know how well-supported Debian is. Check the forums. And the KDE plasma tablet is about to be announced (so I hear). Not sure exactly how long before you can buy one. Probably a couple of months or so, so definitely not 'available today'. I'm holding out for one of those as it has been designed to be free-software all the way through and (mostly) open hardware.
