[Android-tools-devel] Propose to Upload android-libunwind and android-libselinux to Unstable

Hi,

Please check out the buildd log [1], src:android-platform-frameworks-base
failed to build because of the same reason why
src:android-platform-system-core/1:6.0.0+r26-1~stage1 failed -- It fetched
libunwind 5.1.1+r8-1 from unstable instead of 6.0.0+r26-2 from experimental.
However, src:android-platform-frameworks-base does not depend on libunwind
directly, instead, libbacktrace depends on it. And because libbacktrace uses
${shlibs:Depends} it does not have a version restriction on its dependencies.

There are two ways to deal with this problem:

1) Upload libunwind (and perhaps libselinux) 6.0.0+r26-2 to unstable
2) Add android-libunwind-dev (>= 1:6) to B-D

The second approach is simple and easy but this B-D is unnecessary. So I highly
propose that we upload android-libunwind (and perhaps android-libselinux) 6.0 to
unstable, which will save lots of time.

There's no need to keep android-libselinux and android-libunwind in
experimental. experimental is for avoiding breaking anything, but now
they are not breaking anything but they make our lives easier if they
are in unstable :)

Cheers,
Kai-Chung Yan
