After upgrading to AGP 8.5, we're seeing many more mergeDebugResource tasks being run. It's having a large negative impact on our build times -- we're now downloading ~9GB of artifacts from our Gradle remote build cache, whereas before it was 1GB, and most of that increase is from mergeDebugResources.

This is reproduced by running ./gradlew compileDebugSources.

I believe this is caused by this commit: https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/03860fa78241c5d41556868241e2abd74bce42f0

It appears that mergeDebugResources is always run now, regardless of your unitTestOptions.includeAndroidResources setting.
