In Debian GIS is maintaining some metapackages. You get their names via
$ LANG="" apt-cache search gis- | grep ^gis
gis-gps - GPS related programs
gis-osm - OpenStreetMap related programs
gis-statistics - Statistics with geographical data
gis-tasks - Debian GIS tasks for tasksel
gis-web - Present geographic information using web features
gis-workstation - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) workstation
and you can have an overview about their content at
http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks
You can simply install the packages and get all their dependencies in
one rush.
In case you might observer the following things:
1. Packages in ubuntugis are missing in Debian
2. Packages you are looking for are inside Debian but
are missing in the metapackages dependencies
3. You are considering the dependencies of the metapackages
as not fitting your purpose properly
... just let us know.
Kind regards and have fun with Debian GIS
Andreas.
