Hi We have released 0.53.1 which should fix this issue. The packaging is available on mentors:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/meson Unfortunately Martin Pitt, who is the usual uploader, is on a devconf somewhere with poor connectivity and can't guarantee an upload until Monday evening. In the mean time if someone else has the necessary upload rights, feel free to review and upload the mentors package to unstable. Thanks,
