The fact is that this patch does not seem to be enough. Currently,
gradle/2.13 in testing/unstable do *not* work with
libnative-platform-java/0.11-4 (also in testing/unstable).

  The current situation generates FTBFS from other packages (including
gradle 2.13 itself). And it blocks development on other java software.
  Do you know when gradle 3.1 will be uploaded? If it is longer that
one week, some other workarounds should be put in place in order to
get a working gradle in the archive in between (a libnative-plateform-java/
0.11-4+really0.10 for example)
  Emmanuel: do you think that gradle 3.1 can be uploaded?

  Regards,
    Vincent
