Sorry, I didn't want to sound criminative. Just wanted to see if anyone
is working on it and where the blocker is. I understand the step up from
3.2.1 to 4.3.1 is huge, Gradle has been very active in the last years.
Actually I guess that's also the reason why the last packaged version
often can't be used any more. Maybe updating to 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 first
would be an easier step?

My last take at Debian packaging is already 10 years old and rusty (I
did the first Spring Framework packages). At the very least I can do
testing.
