It is great that you are taking this on!  It is a very valuable thing to get 
done.  I will try to help and review as I find time, but I'm really slammed at 
the moment.

Another thing I can offer is help with funding for doing this work, if that is 
interesting to you.  Specifically, NLnet's Mobifree fund 
(https://nlnet.nl/mobifree/) is likely to fund this kind of work because Gradle 
is so important for Android.  And having Gradle in Debian means it truly is free 
software.  I will happily help you put together a proposal for NLnet.  The money 
would then go directly to you.  They pay you as a gift from a foundation, and 
the overall process is relatively easy.
