Hi there, looks like I forgot to answer this in due time.

Well, I've been a user of it, so one could say I've been following it, to some
extent!

Well, you might as well want to package the upstream AOSP SDK and remove the
encouragements to install and use proprietary software from it, in a way similar
to what Replicant does. I'm a bit attached to see upstream go in Debian, instead
of Replicant.

Note that Replicant doesn't move forward as fast as upstream, so it's probably
better to keep track with AOSP for this reason, too.
