If you want to install it as a debian package, you can try building from
source as described here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html.
You should be able to change some of the dependencies using the
--without-* ./configure flags in debian/rules directory and subsequently
amending the list of dependencies in debian/control and
debian/<subpackage>/debian/control.
debtree is a handy tool for inspecting the dependency tree. It seems to
me that librsvg2-2 and libgraphviz4 generate most additional
dependencies. Also it does not make much sense why libmagick10 depends
on libgtk2.
