We discussed this on the channel previously, #debian-android-tools
I was trying to link logs from matrix but it couldn't work.

Anyway, from the discussion, only 'fastbootd' depends on 'fs_mgr' which is
what depended on 'libfec_rs'.
'fastbootd' is 'recovery: true' in the Android.bp, which means it's meant
to run in the recovery environment on an Android device. Anything we're
building / packaging here should be marked as 'host_supported: true' or a
`*_host*` target - otherwise the code is only meant to run on the device.
