Comment:

 It should be possible to build the NDK from source without too much pain.
 Building Gradle and Android SDK without using mystery "prebuilt" binaries
 is very difficult.  The Debian packages are the only project I'm aware of
 that is doing this.

 FYI, F-Droid is running binary transparency logs for Gradle and Android
 SDK binaries, with an available static JSON URL:

 * https://gitlab.com/fdroid/android-sdk-transparency-log
