Please do your testing with the grass 5.7 package at:
http://bullhorn.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/
This has many improvements over the 5.7.0 tarball from the grass home
page. It also provides libgrass5.7 and libgrass5.7-dev packages. The
debian files from the above package are in alioth's cvs trunk[5] if you
want to patch them.
