I generally agree with what Laszlo and you said, and android-tools (adb, fastboot and perhaps others?) package should appear in Debian as soon as possible. If I can help in any way to make that goal happen, please do let me know.
On the other side, I still haven't given up on my idea of "android-sdk-installer". More info: http://foolcontrol.org/?p=1545 and/or http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/android-sdk-installer-for-linux-debianubuntu Which "bundles" all the components from udev rules over Eclipse plugin to SDK itself into single package. I just need more time to realize this idea, as currently I'm the only one working on it and this isn't my full time job.
