With all those packages migrating to meson, would it be possible to
look at removing some dependencies from host-ninja/host-meson ? Right
now, host-ninja forces to build a Python interpreter, either
host-python or host-python3, and then host-meson forces to build
host-python3.

If Ninja is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3, why can't we
use the system-provided Python interpreter rather than building our
own ?

Does Meson absolutely needs a Python 3 interpreter ?

Meson allows faster builds than autoconf/automake, but in practice, for
a simple build with just a few packages, if one of them uses Meson,
then the build is actually slower due to the need to build
host-python3, and maybe even host-python, as that's what host-ninja
defaults to.

Best regards,

Thomas
