So, it would be cool to have Debian as the base OS and Android running in a container. When in Phone mode, Android is front and center and when in Desktop mode, the base Debian host is. Could then still access the Android container.
If the UIs supported a seamless mode, that would be icing.
In the worst case you might have to run a kernel built for Android instead of the default debian kernel (e.g. lifted off the android OS for that type of device), depending on how it was packaged up. Hopefully those aren't built with certain useful features turned off.
For devices that support a vanilla android, I imagine the driver issue is already worked out and there would be no problem getting them to work in a kernel that you can compile yourself, even if not the default debian kernel.
I hope this is where Google is headed with Fuschia OS. I wouldn't want to hack together a seamless transition from phone to desktop environment on Android. With a whole new platform written from the ground up to support it makes sense to me.
