When using 'jhbuild sysdeps --install' I get a scary warning telling me that it is insecure.

Fix security warning when using sysdeps --install

Attempting to run 'jhbuild sysdeps --install' on Fedora 21:

"This software is not from a trusted source. Do not install this
software unless you are sure it is safe to do so."

The security warning is due to misuse of PackageKit's API, which changed
a couple of years ago. Thanks to Richard Hughes for help debugging.

Pushing ahead with this, since normal users are more important than rawhide. Please revert if it causes issues.
