[Android-tools-devel] android-tools backport

[Ximin Luo]

Yes, android-tools hasn't been properly maintained in a long time, and I only touched it to update it because I had to flash my personal phone.

hc, maybe you could post a short summary list of what needs to be done for the migration to the android-platform-* packages.

(Sorry if what I said was already repeated elsewhere, I am no longer on the android-tools-devel thread either, since I don't maintain any of these packages.)
