You can enable sshd on the LibreELEC (the currently available Kwiboo build enables it by default) and I guess it shouldn't be too hard to copy debootstrapped Debian into it, and run it in chroot. This should provide Debian packaged software, although without init (systemd) integration - the daemons would have to be started using some custom scripts. Kind of like Linux chroots under Android. What it certainly won't provide is any additional GUI software - the LibreELEC runs KODI without any windowing environment (no X11 or Wayland). So no browser.
I'm currently trying to get hardware accelerated video playback to work with the ayufans 64-bit Debian Stretch build, but at moment I have no idea, whether it I would succeed (don't understand the Linux video acceleration frameworks enough, so just trying to build software packages with available patches for now - fortunately Rock64 is not terribly slow for native builds).
