I just download the installer packages and look up (by using dpkg-deb --info
package_name) what do they depend on... Then I may or maty not use them for
actuall install. All of those packages should have their own web-page under
http://www.debian.org (follow the link for packages), and there it is clearly
stated which libs are required.
Just my 2 cents...
