after that, the image was deleted but the database entry is still there: ​http://hipsterpunk.com/u/davidak/m/foto-am-20-03-15-um-21-54/

As mediagoblin now requires npm, it should be added to the dependency list in the documentation.

If someone executes ./bootstrap.sh without automake and autoconf installed, the system will print warnings about the files not being found then proceed to the git submodule commands whose output floods the terminal and may prevent the user from seeing the previous error output. Then the user is confused why there is no configure. I think we should update bootstrap.sh to check for the presence of automake and autoconf with which commands and terminate the script with an error message if one isn't found, rather than continuing wit git submodule actions.
