I managed to install and boot Debian in a separate partition.
The steps were:-
Boot Armbian on microSD.
Use gparted to shrink the Manjaro partition.
Create and mount a new partition.
Use debootstrap to install Debian into the the new partition.
Chroot into the new partition and set the root password.
Copy the Armbian kernel and dtb files into the boot partition but with different file names so that they don't clash with the Manjaro ones.
Configure extlinux.conf with a menu and parameters to boot both either Manjaro or Debian.
So far it works, except that I cannot get x windows to display in the Debian partition.
