It appears the build-api effort at https://github.com/cgwalters/build-api hasn't really caught on. systemd appears one of the very few projects actually supporting it. It does confuse certain tools though. E.g. debhelper by finding a configure script wrongly assumes this is an autoconf project and thus needs to be told explicitly that this is in fact a Meson project [1]. Given that Meson is an established build system by now, it appears ok to drop this compat layer, which will never be fully complete anyway.
