I want to build packages for my PPA using meson. I think I figured out how to do make a working recipe. However I need meson version (>= 0.4) which is not in the release repository of xenial.
However, in the backports repository (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meson) there is a meson with a version that is sufficient. How can I tell launchpad to build using the backports version? Is there some flag in the debian/control file I can use to tell launchpad to use the backported version?
For reference: my debian/control file:
