I got past the external dependencies stage of sanity-check, by
installing all of the libraries it called for. The package names are
different in Debian. The ones needed are mostly of the form
lib<name>-dev.

I got through my first attempt at building Sugar with the following issues:
=====
--Hundreds of miscellaneous warnings

--Are any of these likely to be problems?
=====
/usr/share/aclocal/oaf.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_OAF

--Repeated manyy times. Is this a problem?
=====
Demands automake 1.7, neither earlier nor later.

--OK
=====
configure: error: X development libraries not found
*** error during stage configure of libwnck: ########## Error running
./autogen.sh --prefix /home/mokurai/dev/sugar-jhbuild/build   ***
[22/29]

--Install xorg-dev

--OK, but this should have shown up in the sanity-check
=====
Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

--OK
=====
*** module meta-sugar-base not built due to non buildable dbus-python
*** [29/29]

*** module meta-sugar-base not built due to non buildable avahi *** [29/29]

*** the following modules were not built *** [29/29]

dbus-glib dbus-python avahi meta-sugar-base

--This is the big one. Suggestions?
