android-platform-build has unaddressed reverse-dependencies.

At least android-platform-frameworks-base is unaccounted for here as a revdep.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

adb and fastboot from android-platform-system-core are really useful for people who like to use alternative Android ROMs

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

@jbicha but both adb and fastboot that we ship, are no longer compatible with what are now considered quite old releases of Android.

If we still want them, we should ship versions that can authenticate with android firmware.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The original rationale for this removal, that the packages depended on python2, no longer applies. Since the packages are being updated in Debian, I'm marking the remaining tasks invalid.
