jhbuild sysdeps will fetch system dependencies from the normal
distribution channels (i.e. apt-get under debian), so the installation
will be in /usr and you will be asked for root's password. For some
system dependencies, if not found in the repositories it will download
and build an upstream tarball (in which case the resulting binaries
will be in /opt/gnome )
