Apparently it is up to me to do the testing such that each check box is dealt with.

There isn't a package called "libgda5", so what to do for that line seems unclear. There are many packages listed if the search term is shortened to "libgda", but even then it remains unclear what is the correct one.

O.K. so trying "yelp" instead. Using these references:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
doesn't seem to work, so try just getting the bzr branch instead.

Oddly (or perhaps not, why would anything be consistent), while I'm used to (for example):
bzr push lp:serverguide/precise
it seems the order is different for yelp:
bzr branch lp:ubuntu/trusty/yelp
which I find bizarre (pun intended).

However, then autogen.sh complains that I don't have a package called gtk-doc. O.K. simple enough, however, there isn't a package called gtk-doc. O.K. I'm not sure how, but I guess I am expected to figure out that it really means gtk-doc-tools.

And now autogen.sh complains about:
configure.ac:24: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

And I give up.
