why not to have a small application that depends on all libraries or
some sort of dummy package that you can install using your
distribution's method to get all build dependencies? In ubuntu this is
very easy if you package something like gnome-demo and then use
apt-get builddep gnome-demo or something like that.

Maybe we can add "distro based deps" to jhbuild so when bootstraping
in jhbuild so all dependencies will be taken from your distro when
available.
