No.

Easy Debian is a chroot, which means it runs on top of the Maemo host system, using the same kernel.
This is also the reason why it isn't and can't be a modern Debian. This is Debian Jessie, which fell out of security support in June 2020.
Between Jessie and Stretch there has been a massive rewrite of the glibc code, and while it was possible to get the former running on kernel 2.6.2x with only slight modifications, it isn't possible to run the latter on a kernel older than kernel 3.2. (Or, at least it's way out of my league to figure out what would have to be done to make a newer glibc work on such an old kernel.)
