kotlin2 in Debian -- 2025W24 update

[Julien Plissonneau Duquène <sre4ever@free.fr>]

Good evening,

Going through `resolveDependencies` allowed me to map or remove a few 
more dependencies, but I'm still not satisfied with the state of the 
dependency list so I've started to write a custom plugin to get an 
exhaustive dependency report (not including transitive dependencies, but 
mentioning where dependencies are declared or used). Of course this came 
with "interesting" issues while trying to make that report task to work 
without disabling the configuration cache as Gradle's custom 
serialization has some significant limitations. And I was also bitten on 
the way by mistakenly overloading an equals() implementation instead of 
overriding it. But now it works and generates a nice, detailed 20k lines 
report for this project.

> review the list of dependencies

I now have to finish this review and add some work on dependencies to 
the TODO list. So far it seems that at least the following will be 
needed soon in order to build the compiler:
- kotlinx-collections-immutable-jvm (new package)
- updating the intellij-community-idea source package (new binary 
packages)
- possibly patching the asm package for compatibility.

I've also started to peek at Vladimir's branch. As I'm planning to ditch 
the relocated/shaded jars ASAP we won't converge right out, but there 
are certainly a few things that I'm going to pick from there.

Finally some DebConf25 news: the Java/JVM BoF proposal was accepted, so 
I hope to see some of you there.

Cheers,
