I'm sure someone who follows rpi closer than I will correct if not, but isn't the whole Pi Zero range based the older ARMv6 (i.e. not armhf) processor which requires the Raspbian rebuild because it is not compatible with the armhf baseline used by Debian (and most other distros I think)? If so then any experiments/learnings on a Pi4 (a full ARMv7 CPU supported by the arm64 Debian arch) with full Debian aren't likely to be very transferable. Ian.
