Guilty as charged ;-) I work for Jupyter/IPython, so there are several
dependencies from that that I'm responsible for.

I don't know how to define a new buildsystem either. For the first

Debian/rules file that specifies more stuff explicitly, and then work
out what bits of that can be abstracted into tooling.
