Bug#459219: ITP: android
I generally agree with what Laszlo and you said, and android-tools
(adb, fastboot and perhaps others?) package should appear in Debian as
soon as possible. If I can help in any way to make that goal happen,
please do let me know.
On the other side, I still haven't given up on my idea of
"android-sdk-installer".
More info:

and/or
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/android-sdk-installer-for-linux-debianubuntu
Which "bundles" all the components from udev rules over Eclipse plugin
to SDK itself into single package. I just need more time to realize
this idea, as currently I'm the only one working on it and this isn't
my full time job.
