[Android-tools-devel] Missing dependencies of SDK tools

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

You can package any version of software for Debian, using a beta does not
violate policy.  It is best to use the more stable, feature complete version.
 Sometimes that is a version that is marked as beta.  The essential thing is
to represent the version properly.  If it is almost 0.2.3 but not an official
release of 0.2.3, it should have a different version.  For example, one
approach is to include the date and commit ID from git, so something like this:

0.2.3~commit-20150630-7fe7a109

The ~ tilde makes it a lesser version, so 0.2.3~commit-20150630-7fe7a109 is
before 0.2.3.
