Hello, waf has been recently sponsored and it's currently in NEW (until it lasts, you can see its details at [1]). waf preferred design is to provide a self-unpacking Python script to be installed into projects' root directories and then executed from there, we adjusted it to be available system-wide, so everyone can use it, no matter if waf script is available in upstream tarballs or not. As you can see from [2], we decided to remove some files with potential license issues (mainly files under QPL and GFDL), so we are sure to distribute a full DFSG-compliant waf package to our users. several Debian source packages ship an internal copy of such a script, which distributes non-free files and creates code duplication. Here's a dd-list output of interested packages, this has been obtained using Debian source search service [3], so some packages could be missing, please notify me in such a case.

Please report any bug or issue you find, so we can fix them when waf comes out NEW and reaches mirror network. When waf is published, I will file bugs to start the transition. Thank you!
