I personally find this a nice improvement, especially in view of xz attack. Meson's syntax is also cleaner and the builds are faster.

I'd argue that there isn't that great difference between dependencies of auto**** and make vs. meson & ninja. The difference isn't also very meaningful these days, probably it would be a very niche case to build Firejail in such resource constrained embedded system where it would matter.

My feeling for auto**** is that unfortunately the architecture seems to be such a mess that it's not possible to improve it much, especially from our side. But if you find it important to keep using the old way, it's certainly possible to support both build systems.
