That is probably the work I've been doing.  I won't get to replacing the
android-tools source package for a while, but I'm happy to help anyone who
wants to do it.  The idea is to structure the source packages around the
source git repos.  So for example, android-tools-fsutils would be provided by
the android-platform-system-extras source package, since the ext4-utils are in:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/extras

And a binary package called android-ext4-utils, since the upstream name is
"ext4_utils".

gcs (Laszlo) and Marcin are listed as the current 'android-tools' admins. I
cc'ed them.  Could either of you either check the pending admin requests, or
add Loïc and/or me as an admin?
