Debian builds will always be in "offline mode" since the Debian builds
require that all dependencies are installed locally. By default, gradle
will try to download dependencies from the configured maven
repositories. So this error means that those libraries not installed
locally.
Probably the best way to handle the circular dependency is to patch out
the kotlinx dependencies entirely for the bootstrap phase. Once a basic
kotlin is in Debian, then the kotlinx stuff can be packaged and
uploaded. Once kotlinx is in Debian, then the patch can be removed from
kotlin, and that part of kotlin can be built and packaged.
