Vala is not actually required if you build from a tarball, as the
tarball includes the pre-generated .c files.

Note that the configure checks are written to be used for the
tarball. If you choose to build from git instead you must manually
resolve a couple of dependencies. That's intended that way.

Under the assumption that you tried to build from git I'll consider this
as NOTABUG. Or did I guess wrong? ;-)
