Hi Noah,

In the mean time, debhelper has gain native support for the meson build
system (including support for cross building with meson).  Most likely,
what you will need is:

  # instead of ./configure [--with-foo]
  dh_auto_configure --buildsystem=meson [-- --with-foo]
  # instead of $(MAKE)
  dh_auto_build --buildsystem=meson
  # instead of $(MAKE) test/check
  dh_auto_test --buildsystem=meson
  # instead of $(MAKE) install
  dh_auto_install --buildsystem=meson


Plus a Build-Depends: meson, ninja, debhelper (>= 10.3~)

Thanks,
~Niels
