Several developers seem to use Ubuntu for their development which makes me think that Impala would work on Debian, too. However, I think we should not claim proper support for Debian since to my knowledge there are no automated Jenkins jobs verifying this. I am also not aware of anyone developing or using Impala on Debian.
Of course anyone in the community is free to set-up automated testing for Debian, either on our project Jenkins or on their own infrastructure.
