IIRC, this is by design. Mir can't possibly know which driver package is
the right one for you at build time. And although we do have probing,
installing all driver packages bloats the dependency tree unnecessarily.
So our solution (IIRC) was to put a seed in the phone image such that
the android drivers package was always included.

I'm not sure if there's something in our packaging that might have made
it easier for your system to become broken...?

Title:
  Missing dependency between mir and android drivers

Status in Mir:
  New
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  While investigating bug #1528279 I've noticed there's some missing
  dependency somewhere, I'm able to get a broken device by upgrading
  unity-system-compositor (which pulls in libmir*). Only after upgrading
  mir-graphics-drivers-android did my system come back to normal.

  Excerpt from apt history.log:
