Need /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Can anyone share a working copy of /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules. please? An "apt install android-sdk-platform-tools-common" fails to provide it on Debian 10.9.

Research caused me to manually create the file with the following contents:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee2", MODE="0600", OWNER="me"

where the output of lsusb contains:

Bus 003 Device 010: ID 18d1:4ee2 Google Inc. Nexus Device (debug)

After a "systemctl restart udev". the problem remains:

$ fastboot devices
no permissions (missing udev rules? user is in the plugdev group); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] fastboot

I feel I've done my homework, so I ask if anyone has a working /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules, please.
