 `apktool` .deb in the face of Debian's [bug 942019 https://bugs.debian.org
 /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942019]. How would that .deb work around the
 problem mentioned there?

 my question? How are we avoiding the problem if we download the .deb with
 all dependencies from Debian if using the that .deb is problematic?

 ApkTool is really just a wrapper around a bunch of other libraries. It's
 the dependent libraries we need to update. For example, we know that the
 deb will use smali-lib 2.2.1 (which is part of the set of older libraries
 with the problem) but is compatible with 2.3. So I was thinking if we can
 install something like libsmali-java 2.3, ApkTool should work.
