4de4718 upgraded android-interop-testing to SDK version 23, but this had previously been avoided because it triggered a Gradle or AGP bug. The race happened to not trigger locally or for the PR's CI and the change was merged. But the problem still was present, and the CI is failing to build very frequently. This works around the problem by explicitly adding a dependency from mergeExtDexDebug. I didn't see any other mergeExtDex tasks created, in particular mergeExtDexRelease. Hopefully we can remove this after upgrading AGP or Gradle, but at least we can move forward with newer Android API levels again.
