adbd in ubuntu lives in the ubuntu rootfs, not on the android side ...
for security reasons teh adbd binary in ubuntu has a check if the screen
is unlocked and if there is a password set for the "phablet" user ...

indeed this is a blocker for porting ... if your UI does not come up
there is no lock screen to check against :)

i have an unlocked adbd binary at
http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/adbd

you can put that into /usr/bin/adbd on the rootfs and do the following:

echo "start on startup" >/etc/init/android-tools-adbd.override

that should bring up adbd as soon as your system switched to the rootfs.
