One last thing: Let's say I accidently errored in my build. Would debian just not work, or would the whole device get messed up?

Also, when you chroot debian, is it basically 100% independent of Kindle OS?

And finally, when you download debian from the official site, does it come with x-org?
dsmid has Debian running in a chroot.
Which means it doesn't have access to the Amazon files (only kernel system calls).

Depends -
It could, just depends on what you download for installation.
But it doesn't have to.
