Upstream changed the Gradle setup to use Kotlin files (e.g. build.gradle.kts)
rather than the Groovy files (e.g. build.gradle).  I spoke with upstream about
the changes to the buildsystem, they said that it was about switching to Kotlin
and otherwise the buildsystem is basically the same.

I think the easiest path to upgrading apktool to 2.9.3 will be to patch in the
old build.gradle files and patch out the build.gradle.kts files.  If someone
manages to get a new enough Kotlin and Gradle into Debian, then the
build.gradle.kts files should just work.

Greetings.

I'm writing to you because I have a humanitarian request that I believe
could be incredibly impactful. I'm reaching out about the recent
devastating storm that tragically claimed many lives and affected numerous
individuals in Libya, including one of my clients. I would like to discuss
a proposal with you that could enable us to extend a helping hand to these
victims.

Looking forward to discussing this further with you.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Nathalie Herolds
