Hello,

My GSoC project is "Android SDK Tools in Debian". In the last two weeks, I
haven't done much of coding. I am figuring out a way to package
android-framework which basically contains android.jar.

Android.jar is one of the major components of Android SDK. It is sort of
java library header of whole Android SDK. One of my mentors(cdesai) figured
out that to build android.jar successfully, somewhat 50 repos of AOSP
source are required. We are thinking about using MUT(Multi upstream
tarball) approach for packaging this. But I haven't figured it how to
create MUT package. I haven't found much information online but from
whatever information I gathered from man pages of uscan, I have created
this basic debian/watch file to test if it works or not but currently it
just downloads source tarball of the first component specified in
debian/watch file[1]. If here anyone has any experience regarding MUT
packages or if you know any resources to know more about it, please let me
know.
