Installing sugar on Debian Unstable

• For now Sugar can only be installed on Unstable (SID)

Steps

• Install jhbuild
• Follow this instructions Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild, and also check Sugar#Build_from_sources
• After building everything, ./sugar-jhbuild run failed because other packages were not installed on The system. The following list should be considered prerequisite to anyone wanting to run sugar on debian unstable.

automake1.7 gtk-doc-tools xnest libtiff-tools libtiff4 libtiff4-dev gconf2 gconf2-common libgconf2-dev dbus python-dbus avahi-daemon avahi-utils  
avahi-discover python-avahi network-manager-dev network-manager dhcdbd libnm-* network-manager-gnome

I recovered these packages from my shell history, by searching for 'apt-get install'. Obviously, many of them brought their own dependencies and I probably happened to some important packages installed already, so please feel free to add to this list, or make corrections.
