Hello Pau,

it will work with a single ISDN card if the card is somehow supported  
by Hylafax.
A card with CAPI interface (for Linux) can be used with capi4hylafax.
A card with a modem-like interface can be used by Hylafax directly.
(There is a third way to use an ISDN card with Asterisk but I don't  
know any details.)
The card does not necessarily use one channel for each number. You  
don't have to care about channels, you simply configure your phone  
numbers and the card will use a free channel. It depends on the card if  
it can send/receive faxes on both channels simultaneously.

Normally, a single Hylafax daemon will do it.

Debian has fairly recent versions. I recommend using pre-compiled  
packages. If you need newer versions consider upgrading hylafax-server  
and capi4hylafax to Debian testing.
