I'm wondering what repo the Debian instance gets its packages from, more specifically the adb and fastboot binaries.

Thanks in advance to whoever finds this out, you will literally be saving me so much headache!

You might also be able to use a web version of ADB if you're just using it for basic functionality like installing an app:

You can install chrome's os thanks to brunch project. You don't even have to partition anything, it will use virtual disks in your windows partition like wubi
