Make sure you have the meson (>= 0.53.1)

then you can go and remove the sid mirror from your apt/sources.list and avoid 1000+ upgradable apt packages in sid compared to buster (if you do not remove the sid mirror after installing meson and you run a `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` you may render your system unstable)
