Gradle 4.4.1 is the latest version before kotlin was added as a
build-dependency, which has been a known problem since 2019. However,
kotlin 1.3.31 has finally been packaged and is currently sitting in the
NEW queue for review.

Gradle 6.4.1 packaging work is currently stalled in offline mode. It
needs someone to work out how to build it without the proprietary
gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin that upstream uses. Note that this
doesn't require any familiarity with debian packaging!

BCC'd 926714 since it hasn't been updated with recent developments.
