I guess you mean proprietary drivers here? Debian doesn't like those
so this goal doesn't sound useful for us.

As I understand it, libhybris is solely for proprietary drivers that
can't be recompiled, so probably not useful for Debian.
It sounds like you would use a custom Linux kernel, this would not be
useful for Debian, as we only use mainline versions of the Linux
kernel.
I'm not sure what the Android HAL consists of.
I would encourage you to choose a different path:
Merge existing open source Linux drivers, subsystems etc upstream:
http://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge
Reverse engineer binary blobs, write drivers and merge the results
into the relevant projects (u-boot, Linux, mesa etc).
