+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.
