kotlin2 in Debian -- 2025W32 update

Good evening,

No progress on kotlin2 itself this week as I'm focusing on the 
intellij-community-idea source package upgrade.

I though the current package had upstream gradle scripts, but actually 
they were added by the previous maintainers as the upstream project 
depended on IDEA itself (.iml files) to build, so I will just have to 
refresh and extend these scripts. Anyway I'm not there yet, as I'm still 
sifting through the new releases to remove unwanted content from the 
source package, mostly pre-built binaries but also a few convenience 
copies of third-party sources that are already packaged in Debian. This 
package will definitely deserve its +ds suffix. Most of this screening 
work could be automated so I'm now thinking about (later) writing a tool 
to help with future initial packaging work and upgrades.

Meanwhile in the opposite timezone Vladimir is almost done working on 
updating libkotlinx-coroutines-java.

I'm also now looking again for advocates [1], as I just opened a new DD 
application process. This will help later with the bunch of smaller 
updates that will be needed once the larger ones are ready.

Cheers,
