 Can we use apt pinning like eighhave
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31564#comment:60

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

 is unlikely to have anything to do with aapt itself (which is the same in
 both cases), as suggested in the bugreport.

 It seems like there was already an upstream bugreport which was closed as
 not-a-bug.
 https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2149

 But I don't know enough to say where the bug is.
