Comment (by gk):

 So, from a high-level point we'd like to get a properly built and named
 Tor Browser for Android by executing commands like `make alpha` or `make
 nightly`. That means after e.g. entering `make alpha` and after the build
 job is done the result should be a `tor-browser-android-arm-8.5a4.apk` in
 alpha/unsigned/8.5a4-buildN (yes, I think once we have the mobile build
 integrated it could be a good time to switch to our "regular versioning"
 scheme).

 From a less high-level viewpoint this requires (at least) a) adapting the
 `Makefile` to add the new targets and b) getting the extensions we need
 funneled into the .apk.

 For b) we usually have the bundling step (i.e. the tor-browser project).
 If that's not going to work (Is that the case? If so, why?) for Android
 (which would mean reopening the .apk we got in the firefox step and
 putting the extensions into place after building them if needed) we need
 to find a way doing that in the firefox build step and could do just the
 renaming in the tor-browser step.
