Hi, one last try to explain it to you. GIMP doesn't need Jade. It needs gtkdoc to build the developer documentation. gtkdoc can work in two modes, the old-fashioned way of using it involves processing SGML and thus needs jade or, preferably, openjade. The newer way of building these docs uses DocBook XML which is processed using xsltproc (on which we depend anyway). Since gtkdoc allows both SGML and XML, the gtkdoc package depends on jade. It would probably be a good idea to make jade optional for the build of gtkdoc so that people like you, who are for whatever reason not able to get it installed, can still build and install a version of gtkdoc that would work with GIMP.
