The Debian convention is that they point to the host architecture compilers (if set), because that's what most build systems do. So if meson differs here, then dh_auto_configure needs to clear these variables for meson (but only for cross compilation). I'll implement that aspect for debhelper after this bug is fixed. > This script should probably do the same thing as that one.
