 answer to my first question in comment:29:ticket:31564: Do we know whether
 apktool 2.3.4 that comes natively with Buster works or not?
 > The one in buster wasn't working when I tried. It listed as 2.3.4 but
 all of the dependencies were much older 2.2, so I suspect the packaging
 was wrong, it wasn't really updated to 2.3.x.

 What error did you get when trying with 2.3.4?

 What makes you believe the packaging was wrong? `aptktool` depends for
 instance on `aapt` (1:8.1.0+r23-3), so why can't it depend on `libsmali-
 java` (>= 2.2.1)?
