I have a question --- what is the safest way to get rid of Android in this configuration? Should I just delete the 1st (4GB vfat) and 3rd (512MB ext4, presumably Android system?) partitions?

By "delete" I mean, of course, re-creating all the other partitions starting from where the 1st started (61440). But their numbers would be different, naturally. Should I modify some boot file pointing to them?

How does the boot image know which fs to mount as root (e.g. via "root=" command line or some other mechanism)?

Also, I accidentally added a launcher to the bottom panel and in order to remove it I went to ~/.config/xfce4/panel and noticed a new directory called "launcher-30" so I assumed that was my launcher (cat launcher-30/* confirmed this) and so I deleted the whole "launcher-30" directory. But the launcher simply turned to some generic icon and remained on the panel. So, how do I remove it completely?

UPDATE: I tried running xfce4-panel -p and it worked absolutely fine, i.e. clicking on the '-' sign removed this launcher. There is NO NEED to kill the panel before doing this.

UPDATE: One crucial thing that is missing in Debian is TeX Live. Yes, of course I know about "apt-get install texlive texlive-formats-extra texlive-latex-extra" but doing this did NOT install all the bits that I need (e.g. xelatex format was still missing) and if I try to do "apt-get install texlive-full" then it fails. So, there seems to be no way to install xelatex in this environment, i.e. I still have to have access to a x86_64 machine running Fedora Linux.

Also, I noticed that doing "apt-get autoremove texlive texlive-formats-extra texlive-latex-extra" did NOT remove tex and latex binaries --- they are still in /usr/bin/. Probably other files are left as well... Strange.
