This was not my intention and I'm truly sorry you feel this way. My apologies.

Here is a link to the version of Waf I'm referring to:
http://code.google.com/p/waf/downloads/detail?name=waf-1.6.7

It can be used as a replacement for the compressed version.

Here are two options I can think of:

* Add the above mentioned source code to the Debian git repositories
each project in question and remove the upstream compressed versions.
* ...or, package waf and add it as a source dependency for the
affected packages.

And the second option is not really an option due to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00714.html

My 2 cents at least.
