There are a couple of sub-pages for specific devices/distros, if you
want to create more that should be fine.

I like to think of Android as just another UI toolkit/etc. There are
useful Free Software Android applications that have no equivalent in
the GNU/Linux space (like OsmAnd), so I think it would be great if
Debian could build, package and run some of these FLOSS Android apps.
There is already work happening to package the Android SDK.
