I think it's best to just install it to your home directory without
involving the system package manager if you want to use the android
package manager for anything.

It's not sane to be giving users access to a directory in the PATH of
other users, especially root. Many people have a single user system
without a true non-administrator account, but packages need to be secure
in cases where this isn't true.
