I found this (https://github.com/mickybart/gnulinux_support/) on Github
a few days ago, and it sounded very interesting to me. The project uses
libhybris and a few other tools to talk to the android parts in a
chroot. It uses systemd for controlling the init process, and for
starting the android chroot. The currently supported Linux distribution
is Arch, but it shouldn't be to complicated to use debian with it. There
would just be a lot of packaging work to be done like libhybris and some
other tools.

And of course there would device specific android kernels and
android-chroot-rootfs to package ...
With my phone as example they could be called like this:
- linux-image-3.18.24-1-chaozu
- firmware-android-nonfree-5.1-chaouzu
And I would really like to see Plasma Mobile UI (original package name
plasma-phone-components) in Debian.
I haven't understood this way of porting completely, but I wanted to
know your opinion on it, and if you think it could be done for at least
for one prototype phone and maybe not officially in debian, because
there would be this non-free android firmware in many cases. But since
there are some things already done, it would be a great achievement to
bring a QML based UI and full Gnu/Linux to android phones.
I hope this makes any sense :D
