Comment (by sisbell):

 I tried the buster version (2.3.4-dirty) and then a custom deb install
 (2.4.0-dirty) and neither one works. At this point I think the report that
 this is an aapt issue (and not an apktool issue) is probably accurate.

 The downloaded version of apktool which we are currently using has a
 packaged version of its own build of aapt. This one works

 {{{
 Android Asset Packaging Tool, v0.2-eng.ibotpe.20190216.092407
 }}}

 While buster uses the following which doesn't work
 {{{
 Android Asset Packaging Tool, v0.2-27.0.1
 }}}

 It difficult to know what the difference is due to the custom build. Both
 look to be some variation of 0.2 versions
