To see which packages are already using meson, run
reverse-depends -b meson
reverse-depends -r sid -b meson

graphene [1] is developed by one of the GNOME developers so that might

Michael Biebl has added meson support to debhelper master, but a new
version of debhelper hasn't been released with it yet.
