That will most likely break on any non-x86 architecture, potentially on 
i386 or amd64 as well (depending on what you ship).

Please post the bug number so I can follow that effort and switch to 
distro packages ASAP. Can you file bug reports at Ubuntu and Debian as 
well, please?

Given the above we'll need to build webkitgtk and pywebkitgtk in 
sugar-jbhuild, not just depend on distro packages.
Please try coming up with an appropriate rule for 
config/modules/glucose-external.modules, taking libsoup as an example. 
Otherwise post exactly what we'll need (exact versions, where to get 
them, special configure options, ...) and what dependencies are 
required.
