Yes, a Debian chroot would be fairly easy, and I found a post explaining it. Native debian, not so much. I searched for general terms like "Debian"(lots of posts) and more specific "kindle debian armel debootstrap"(only the chroot post)

Christian Hoff about USB OTG support:
Quote:
I have used the OTG successfully on a Debian SID image that I also installed on the Kindle, but with the lab126 distro there seem to be some issues with the OTG.
How I arrived at the Arch idea is as follows. I wanted a terminal. KindleTerm. I wanted a compiler. Chroot. I wanted a keyboard. Custom kernel.

The Arch part is optional, but I thought that would be easy once I had to make a custom kernel anyway. I'll have a look into merging, but if that proves too hard, I will try Debian.

ps, can't say I find it easy to find *anything* in forums.
