I would be sad to see android-framework-23 getting removed as I'm using
it to build my own Android apps; google-android-*-installer is not an
option because the EULA contains clauses that I cannot agree to. Already
have to figure out what to do about the dalvik-exchange removal [1]; the
replacement tool d8 is not in Debian and is hard to build from source
locally.

On the other hand I do understand the reasoning behind wanting to remove
the package from Debian and unfortunately don't have time to help out
either.

Kudos to everyone involved for maintaining the packages so far; they've
been a huge help!
