linux 4.17.3 is in unstable now, although linux-lastest haven't updated yet.

Could you continue looking at anbox?
I've uploaded new version to mentors.d.n,
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/a/anbox/anbox_0.0~git20180612-1.dsc

Or you can get it from salsa
https://salsa.debian.org/zhsj-guest/anbox/

I copied more words from upstream readme. And added one sentence about
the android image and kernel modules.

all directories are installed by d/dirs and d/install now.

I had added one in d/tests/control. should have more?
I think it's too much to test running android entirely, eg, need a
kernel greater than 4.17.3, and graphics, and download android
image...
So d/test/control only test the `anbox` command.

I don't know the reason from your log. the log says
buffered_io_stream_tests stared but not finished. Does this happen in
sbuild or other environment?
It's fine on my side and I can't reproduce (in sbuild).
