This waf issue has nothing to do with being DFSG free.
It is a policy question concerning making examining sources more
convenient for people and automated tools.
Doing this
./waf --help &> /dev/null
mv .waf-*/waflib waflib
sed -i '/^#==>$/,$d' waf
rmdir .waf-*
cannot magically change non-free into free.

In the case of minidjvu, the upstream ALREADY DOES use autoconf.
The sources contain a configure.ac file.
Again: the waf file is *not used* in the Debian build.
Which is why I am not so worked up about this issue. It seems to me
that the convenience of examining sources is only an issue for sources
that are actually used.
