I have recently installed gentoo prefix within my debian buster OS  on my
kaveri box.

I installed chromium 76:

mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$ equery l chromium
 * Searching for chromium ...
[IP-] [  ] www-client/chromium-76.0.3809.36:0
mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$

It does take some effort install gentoo prefix on debian.  But I have
figured out how to do it with the help of the gentoo prefix dev team.
I am grateful to them.

Cheers
