[Android-tools-devel] Bug#824930: Bug#824930: Bug#824930: Bug#824930: Bug#824930: apktool: creates directories and an empty 1.apk file in $HOME

[Chirayu Desai]

This was discussed on IRC, and since we already need to build
framework-res.apk for android.jar (it is extracted and the contents
are included as-is in the jar), we can also have a separate package
for it, which I have ready at:
https://gitlab.com/cde/debian_android-tools_android-platform-frameworks-base/commit/1ea978033eb92e0c7c14f1ca40c61d84b2a2e7f1

i also have made changes to apktool to use that, however I need to
make some changes based on the feedback I got.

I have a patch locally that makes it use ~/.local/share/apktool, can
update it / push it as preferred.
