I think renaming it would be better but then we have two Linux tasks:

- Linux - Debian Bookworm - Autoconf
- Linux - Debian Bookworm - Meson Auto

For me it looks like 'Meson Auto' can be confused with 'Autoconf'. We
can rename it as a 'Meson Auto Feature Detection' but that is a bit
longer. Do you have any ideas? If you think 'Meson Auto' is good
enough, we can continue with it, too.
