I learned with the help of Puri.sm folks how to stop the phosh # systemctl phosh stop after the difficult login process due to the jumping away from tty1. After stopping the phosh one can look around fine in the Debian guest. The phosh needs Gnome and a wayland-server as display and perhaps this is the problem.
