Re (2): Correction: Re: a Debian executable on Android
FWIIW, access to most of the Daimler car2go vehicles
here requires their app running on android or an apple device.
Primarily for that, I purchased an XO Tablet. Apparently the
fastest machine I now own. 2nd hand and under 50 US dollars.

You mean Google's paranoia; not debian user's paranoia. =8~)

Thanks for outlining this. I've encountered numerous odd constraints
and convolutions in a few months of experimenting with the tablet.
Considering this, the bochs app works amazingly well. I wondered
whether Linux Deploy or Complete Linux Installer would be as effective.

Could be another project. Being a senior now, my concern is to
finish existing projects rather than begin new ones. Meanwhile I'll
lobby Daimler to offer a purely HTML5 app and content myself with
android until the picture improves.
By the way, the Spark Modular Tablet is appealing although too large for
my purposes. http://www.instructables.com/id/Spark-The-DIY-Modular-Tablet/
