Bug#459219: ITP: android

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Thanks for working on getting the android development stuff packaged!

I think I agree with what Laszlo said about having separate package for 
some things (although mainly at the binary package level, I guess I don't 
care at the source package level).

I don't need to develop android applications, I mainly just need adb and 
fastboot in order to talk to and boot my devices. I found these (slightly 
older, but maybe still relevant) howtos

It would be nice to be able to install adb without having to install the 
whole SDK and java (and avoid downloading binaries and weird licenses, etc).

What do you think?

Thanks,
