Sadly it is likely that we will never be able to get rid of the envvar support. For all the gory details see for example: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4664 > That's how debhelper runs it. Yes, your updated debcrossgen fully > resolves the issue at hand.

I updated the packaging to have the new debcrossgen script. Unfortunately the repository is currently broken and pbuilder can not install all the dependency packages needed to run the test suite so binary packages can not be built. I have uploaded the packaging to mentors, feel free to upload it to unstable as you see fit: https://mentors.debian.net/package/meson
