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

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

 Could you expand on that comment as I don't understand how it addresses my
 question? How are we avoiding the problem if we download the .deb with all
 dependencies from Debian if using the that .deb is problematic?
