I did survey available meson versions, and chose what features to use. But not really ninja, since I didn't know about this specific issue and other than this the ninja version differences were handled by meson. As all the issues are related to more precise dependencies, I somehwat wonder if it'd be good enough to use less accurate dependencies with 1.8.2. But I don't like it. Greetings, Andres Freund
