resolve the NTK-fork dep and the waf evil?

About he Waf evil, upstream developer told me this:

"There was an issue a while I ago that I fixed related to how unique the shipped WAF binary is. I think it should be in a good place now to use a system-wide WAF as Debian prefers. The problem with WAF and I think the reason they bundle it the way they do is they they're constantly making breaking changes (every time I've upgrade it, it broke something), so it's hard to imagine that a system-wide WAF install work work for long before something breaking and requiring everyone to change their wscripts. I guess that depends on how closely Debian follows upstream on the WAF packages."

But if I understand it right, waf should be removed totally from the project via https://wiki.debian.org/UnpackWaf

which is a complex thing to do?
