Yocto: meta-debian errors for cl-som-imx7

Question

I can build a yocto image for cl-som-imx7, but when i add the meta-debian layer, I get a huge python trace with a few errors. I followed the following cl-som-imx7 guide for yocto and the base image works fine. Here is the error

This is my bblayer.conf file:

POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION = "2"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BSPDIR := "${@os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(d.getVar('FILE', True)) + '/../..')}"

BBFILES ?= ""

I recommend you take this up with the meta-debian maintainers directly: meta-debian basically doesn't place nicely with any other layers apart from the exact configuration the maintainers use.
