  Description     : Android Native Development Kit (NDK)

The NDK allows Android application developers to include native code in their
Android application packages, compiled as JNI shared libraries.

Some preliminary work has already been done. It is available on salsa
and is waiting for a maintainer
https://salsa.debian.org/android-tools-team/android-platform-ndk

This package would be a dependency of qt-android-N.M package. See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1002004

I used to work on qt-android but don't have interest anymore in this package.
To understand the challenges of qt-android and why it would benefit of a free
NDK in Debian, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1002004#19
