Thanks for your reply in detail!
For the lack of POMs for proguard, it seems fine since you introduced
me the workaround.

I have no experienced in java related packaging, so I didn't get what
you said at first.
But I found a patch to migrate from the way you proposed to what I
have been used:
- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-java-commits/2015-October/046387.html

What I need is actually "reverse" version of above patch. (of course
with a few changes)
Now I have overcome the "proguard" library issue.

However, I met new dependency issue, log as below.
==========================
Evaluating project ':smali' using build file
'/home/roger/smali/smali/build.gradle'.
Compiling build file '/home/roger/smali/smali/build.gradle' using
SubsetScriptTransformer.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':smali'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':smali:classpath'.
   > Could not find co.tomlee.gradle.plugins:gradle-jflex-plugin:0.0.2.
     Searched in the following locations:
         file:/usr/share/java/gradle-jflex-plugin-0.0.2.jar
         file:/usr/share/java/gradle-jflex-plugin.jar
         file:/usr/share/maven-repo/co/tomlee/gradle/plugins/gradle-jflex-plugin/0.0.2/gradle-jflex-plugin-0.0.2.pom
         file:/usr/share/maven-repo/co/tomlee/gradle/plugins/gradle-jflex-plugin/0.0.2/gradle-jflex-plugin-0.0.2.jar
==========================

I find a few "grandle plugins" in pkg libgradle-plugins-java, which is
produced by src:gradle.
But gradle-jflex is not covered by libgradle-plugins-java, so I guess
I need to package it myself.
The upstream is:
-  https://github.com/thomaslee/gradle-jflex-plugin

I just want to confirm my understanding is correct. Thank you!

Cheers,
Roger
