Sorry, I'm quite busy and don't have time for a longer answer. We'll
follow up on this soonish.

However, regarding that specific point:  waf once was packaged in
Debian.  See <20100227195857.07540195 at utumno>
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00714.html) for details
about the removal.


Best regards,
