These take me as far as yelp (package 83 out of 133). Now I'm stuck
again, and I'm at my wits end trying to get past it :(

Honestly, I'd give up and consider the 2.15.4 moduleset to be broken.
It appears that it got regenerated for some reason and all the fixes
that were in it got overwritten.  I don't know why that happened, and I
don't know if Vincent knows.  I do know that an earlier version of the
2.15.4 moduleset did have firefox available, had libdaemon in it, had
the correct version of libxklavier I believe, and probably a number of
other things that you are or will discover to be broken in it.

I'd just use the 2.15.90 moduleset, available at
http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.15.90/.  I'm currently
building it right now and have gotten past yelp.  (If you really do
want to get the 2.15.4 moduleset to build though, do a diff of the two
modulesets, paying particular attention to mozilla, firefox, yelp, and
epiphany to get past this particular issue)

Ah, didn't even know 2.15.90 was there :-) I'm switching. Is there some
way of being notified of changes to the moduleset?

I would love to see a change to sample-tarball.jhbuildrc though, since I
think the one in there is broken:

The construction of autogenargs break if that line isn't changed.

A last question, is the comment about mozilla in
sample-tarball.jhbuildrc still relevant?

 # Mozilla is still braindead and won't install the nss headers
 # correctly, so let's just avoid it.  Those who want to re-enable can
 # do so, just remove the skip line for mozilla and module_autogenargs
