Now I want to exclude the build variant dev-release, but keep all other poss

The answer of @ade.se didn't work for me. But I've struggled a little, and written this, that works great:

android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'

variantFilter { variant ->
    if (variant.buildType.name.equals('debug') || variant.buildType.name.equals('release')) {
        variant.setIgnore(true);
    }
}

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.fewlaps.quitnow"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 35
    versionName "1.35"
}

The code you have to add is the variantFilter one, but I've pasted a little of the context to make it easy to understand.
