oh, and one thing i forgot, replacing the android side for testing your
changes locally means to boot the device into the initrd (by modifying
the kernel cmdline) and dd'ing the three img files to the respective
partitions ... 

testing the lxc-android-config package means making the image writable
and dpkg -i'ing the package ...
