Samba4 (and soon talloc, tdb tevent, we are building them these days) do embed their own copyof waf together with project extensions to waf. The best thing is to not package waf on and in itself, and let package embed the right version. At least until waf becomes mature enough that the rate of change slows down to the point that option 1 becomes feasible. Option 2 is just begging for maintenance nightmares.
