I don't think we should try too hard to keep the bootstrapping logic in the package, that'll most certainly be tedious to maintain over time.

Well that's indeed something to think about, and I am a bit worried about that as well. With Gradle, the work necessary to maintain the bootstrapping in working condition will have to be weighted against the work necessary to patch and downgrade the build scripts to make them work with a previous release, which may or may not be that easy depending on feature gaps between Gradle releases.

what about having two sets of packages? one set encapsulating the bootstrap, which always stays in unstable, and one "production" set, which then migrates to testing? Would that be better to keep the bootstrap knowledge up to date?
