Hi,
Attached is a patch that seems to fix the problem in this bug.
The patch does mainly two things:
* Enable support for compiling and cleaning up the .pyc files.
* Remove pkg_resources dependency from /usr/bin/meson launcher. (This
is also related to bug #909440.)
Both changes improve the meson startup time significantly in my
system, which was my main motivation for these changes.
Uncommenting ${python3:Depends} in the control file enables .pyc
handling, handles the /usr/bin/python3.*/ directory renaming, and
fixes the following build error.
E: dh_python3 dh_python3:176: no package to act on (python3-foo or one with
${python3:Depends} in Depends)
The ${shlibs:Depends} dependency seems unnecessary and was removed.
There is a new install file that takes care of debcrossgen and
zsh/_meson installation, and overwrites the /usr/share/meson launcher
with __main__.py that does not depend on pkg_resources.
With these changes the override_dh_install is not needed anymore and
can be removed from the rules.
Note that the patch also removes the override_dh_clean rule, which may
be incorrect. I only tested with a "nocheck" build, so I do not know
if the full build with tests will run correctly.
Thank you and best regards,
Lasse
