In theory yes, but it requires some add-ons for that (XWayland), and it sounds like Jolla aren't planning to provide them.

Can someone point them to that it would be helpful to collect all those spread-over-half-the-interwebs tidbits into a Q&A/FAQ at their website?

Sure, they should really publish this kind of stuff on their main Wiki.

does this mean we won't be able to run easy debian apps as if they were native apps like we can currently do on the n900? will we have to run some seperate VNC environment like android?

Many Debian applications should support Wayland as well, so why not. But they'll catch up later I think. Right now Wayland didn't get traction on the desktop, because vendors like Nvidia didn't release needed drives and big DEs like KDE are still in the process of enabling Wayland support.

what a crock. they're basically relying on android apps then. existing qt4/x11 apps won't work.

that's what i thought until i saw that they're using qt5/wayland and dropping support for qt4/x11 apps. and suddenly i didn't care anymore. i'll wait for about a year after it's launch before i seriously look at it now, rather than collecting tweets about how they've u-turned on stuff they promised. bait and switch. no thanks.
