Roderich, as you can see on 

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/lollypop/merge_requests/1358

there is some discussion on if the meson.build should be changed.
I will of course follow what upstream does, but if you would like to
post comments for your point of view, that would be the place to do
it. 

I will of course apply your changes in Debian package dependencies to
the package. 

best regards and thanks for your help
