Bug Description

Both android-platform-system-core (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-platform-system-core) and android-tools (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools) provide adb, adbd, fastboot, etc. What is the difference between those 2 packages? Which one should I use if I want to install fastboot on my host (i.e. not on my phone)?

`android-tools` is deprecated, both ADB and `fastboot` have been moved to `android-platform-system-core`. It's more up-to-date, and it's also the base of all other Android SDK packages.

We have no plans to provide `adbd` though.
