#15096 — pybuild now supports meson

FYI:

The latest upload of dh-python to unstable (6.20230802) includes a
meson plugin, so pybuild can easily build a package multiple times for
all supported Python modules.

It should detect meson from the presence of a meson.build file. And
it'll re-execute dh's meson driver for the build step for each Python
version.

Hopefully that helps...
(and doesn't cause unexpected FTBFSs)

I don't think this is necessarily appropriate for a lot of the packages
in the dd-list: many of them don't install any public Python modules,
only private Python modules for internal use (often only for their
tests). It seems better for those to keep using Meson directly, to match
upstream expectations and give their maintainers full control over their
build options.

One that I was surprised not to see on the list is dbus-python, which
currently uses Meson directly. I'd vaguely planned to try building it
using pybuild and meson-python, but pybuild invoking Meson directly
might be better.

(meson-python itself is a false positive: it's already using pybuild.)

Make sense.

Is there a better method for fuzzing these modules with CI--as an early
warning system for new Python releases?  Would it be useful to activate
the meson dh-python plugin somewhere like reprobuilds, DebCI, or Salsa
CI, while leaving it deactivated on buildds?

Cheers,
Nicholas
