Disabling only vlcDownload/upxDownload/vlcSetup left the chained
*Extract tasks in the graph with @InputFile properties pointing at
archives that were never downloaded — Gradle 9 then fails the build
during input validation:
property 'upxArchiveFile' specifies file
'/root/.gradle/vlcSetup/upx-4.2.4.tar.xz' which doesn't exist.
Disable the full vlc-setup plugin task set
(vlcDownload, vlcExtract, vlcFilterPlugins, vlcCompressPlugins,
upxDownload, upxExtract, vlcSetup) so packaging skips VLC bundling
cleanly.
Verified locally: :desktopApp:packageDeb now proceeds past those tasks
straight to jpackage with -PskipVlcSetup=true.
