On my Ubuntu 16.04 based build-system I also have build-failures for meson
using Python3.5. They are triggered by the "mlog module" . Cherry-picking the
recent meson updates into the packages feed fixing these errors, not sure if
this is caused by the meson upgrade or the python-upgrade.
So it's indeed a tricky situation. But having the EOLed Python3.5 as minimum
requirement for an upcoming release seems non optimal.
