You are using ubuntu package .... sigh. Why arent you using debian
source. If you want to incorporate something from ubuntu, make diff to

I do not want to speculate but ubuntu package was packaged with some
rational to chose some particular dependency requirements. It may not
be satisfied by the Debian. This is very true when it comes to beast
like gcc. Play with dependency defining files to work around issues to
remove package.

Read basics at

I think you probably have easier time reading all of my tutorial on
debian http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/
