Research direction

Start by reviewing the debug-build proof of concept at https://github.com/FooIbar/MaterialFiles/tree/debug and then locate the repository's Android build configuration. Verify how the debug package name is currently defined and determine what must change so debug and release builds can be installed together. Done means a debug build installs alongside the release build without affecting the release package.
