That's a misunderstanding, Debian doesn't prefer system-wide WAF and there is no system-wide WAF in Debian: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00714.html > The problem with WAF and I think the > reason they bundle it the way they do is they they're constantly making > breaking changes (every time I've upgrade it, it broke something), so it's > hard to imagine that a system-wide WAF install work work for long before > something breaking and requiring everyone to change their wscripts.
