Please don't depend on gcc.

Policy says you don't need this dependency (4.2):
   It is not necessary to explicitly specify build-time relationships on
   a minimal set of packages that are always needed to compile, link and
   put in a Debian package a standard "Hello World!"  program written in
   C or C++.  The required packages are called _build-essential_, and an
   informational list can be found in
   `/usr/share/doc/build-essential/list' (which is contained in the
   `build-essential' package).[1]

and I see no reason to add it.

Cheers,
