I've switched to building with meson now and everything seems to work for my
environment, including the usage of a particular LLVM version.

I've noticed, that Debian carries the changes from
<https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/53503/> as local patches. It would
probably be good, if those patches land before autotools support is nuked.

Also: meson complains that deprecated features are used:
 - DEPRECATION: Project targetting '>= 0.45' but tried to use feature deprecated
since '0.48.0': python3 module
 - DEPRECATION: build_always is deprecated. Combine build_by_default and
build_always_stale instead.

Can these be fixed before making meson mandatory? Or are they completely
harmless and won't break builds?

This leaves me with a feature request: the autotools build generated a
configuration summary at the end, which is helpful in checking if changes to the
configuration in my debian/rules file are actually propagated to the build or if
something went wrong. Could the meson build provide such a summary as well?

Cheers,
Kai
