I ran into the exact same problem a few weeks ago while building another 
package. IIRC, I just kept adding the missing packages to the apt-get 
command until it finally installed everything needed.

Of course, you likely have to have apt-pinning properly implemented on 
your machine (if you don't already) in order for that to work, since 
that is really the only way to have a mixed system that works reasonably 
well.
