You might want to look at https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/4004 if you're still wondering how this change happened. May I do an NMU to add the dependency to unbreak things?

This issue means that everything using meson in Debian fails to build right now. Specifically, this is blocking us from being able to do the GNOME 3.30.1 updates this week. So I think a temporary fix now would be appropriate and then you can take more time to figure out a different solution if you like. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

No. We are not permitted to depend on anything outside of Python standard library. Thought looking at the package info that package is provided by setuptools which is a bit of an edge case because distutils is a bit neglected AFAICT.
Bug#909440: meson: missing dependency on python3-pkg-resources
Source: meson Version: 0.48.0-1 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-CC: mp...@debian.org I tried building a package (gnome-games-app) using meson but the build fails now. I guess meson needs to depend on python3-pkg-resources .
