createDeb stop working with gradle 8.0.2

I was using 'nebula.ospackage' plugin and everything works fine:

plugins {
    id 'nebula.ospackage' version '9.1.1'
}

However, I need to upgrade 8.0.2 and the plugin doesn't work with gradle 8.0.2. Unfortunately, there is no 11.0.0 version for 'nebula.ospackage', I only found id 'com.netflix.nebula.ospackage' version '11.0.0'.

But with id 'com.netflix.nebula.ospackage' version '11.0.0', it didn't give me any error, but no .deb file is created.

I tried 11.0.0 with gradle 7.6 and it's working, only gradle 8.0.2 with 11.0.0 doesn't work.

Finally, I found the culprit. I have the following cloure in my task:

    doFirst {
        exec {
             // prepare the source folder
        }
    }

For some reason, it didn't get executed in gradle 8.0.2
