I don't know if this can be addressed at the gradle-debian-helper helper
(I have no idea how to do that). The same issue has been fixed directly
in Ant and Maven (plexus-compiler actually, so it sounds logical to
modify Gradle as well. Note that the behavior of the build tool is
altered only when Debian builds are detected (the Ant patch checks if
the DEB_BUILD_ARCH environment variable is specified before altering the
source/target level).
