Gradle in Debian
----------------
Sometimes upstream introduces changes that break compatibility with
previous versions of Gradle. This is particularly annoying/problematic
because Gradle Build-Depends on itself, so sometimes new upstream
releases would not be buildable with the previous version available
in Debian.
To workaround this issue a bootstrap target is provided in rules
file. This will generate a binary package from upstream distribution.
Once this package is generated, it can be used to build Gradle from
its source in Debian.
IMHO, this is not a case of FTBFSIASW[1] because once Gradle is
bootstrapped (if needed), it can be built with one call to debian/rules.
I'm going to bring this topic with upstream, since it would be ideal
to avoid annoyances like this just keeping compatibility with the
immediate previous version.

This 2 files are extracted from a prebuilt Gradle and are machine-generated
resources. One Gradle 4 is uploaded, they can be generated during build.
