- please can we have a sane upstream version? Like 1.3.31
  and then document in debian/README.source about the additional
  components added?  Is it likely that these other components
  need updates without a kotlin update?

- debian/bootstrap creates a deb, which has the deb itself
  in the root directory.

- debian/rules has
        export JDK_16="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"
        export JDK_17="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"
        export JDK_18="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"
        export JDK_9="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64"
  which are meaningless, as every command is executed in its
  own subshell.

- after installing the bootstrap deb, and trying the build,
  I get:
