Yes, the intent was to still provide ‘%build-inputs’ & co. for backward
compatibility.
There are a few build systems where these variables seemed to be mostly
unused already, so I didn’t bother reintroducing them; that’s the case
of ‘qt-build-system’ and ‘julia-build-system’, for instance. But these
are the exception.
In the case of meson cross-compilation, it was an oversight.
