I just submitted a email on this which I think answers the point. I
worry that it is way off-topic for this list though. The summary is that
Debian is Autotools/Automake focussed and any other build is a problem
for them. I think this is sad, but it is Debian's privilege to be
dictatorial on this for the Debian repository.
