I use the AUR packages without touching the Android package manager at
all. If I did plan on installing stuff from there, I would just install
the SDK to my home directory and use a meta-package (no contents) to
handle the external dependencies. You can add user-specific
binary/library directories to PATH and the library search path (a fairly
sane usage of LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
