It's important to add, that Meson only supports out-of-tree builds.
Trying to build in-tree yields:

$ meson .
Error during basic setup:

Source and build directories must not be the same. Create a pristine
build directory.

As build/ is often already in use, I'd suggest to either create the
build directory as debian/build/ or as build-$arch/ to avoid any conflicts.
