Maybe dia will be to your liking.  It's quite similar to Visio, if
you're familiar with that.  There are both Debian and Ximian packages
for it:

Package: dia
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: graphics
Installed-Size: 10836
Maintainer: Ximian, Inc. <debian@ximian.com>
Version: 0.88.1-ximian.2
Depends: libart2 (>= 1.2.0), libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libgdk-pixbuf2 (>= 0.9.0), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libpng2, libpopt0, libxml1, libz1, xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-4)
Description: A GTK+ based diagram editor andcharting tool
 Dia is used to draw diagrams, graphs, charts, and so forth. This is
 an early version, but the program is fully usable. In this version
 there is support for UML static structure diagrams (class diagrams),
 Entity-Relationship diagrams and Network diagrams. Diagrams can be
 exported to postscript.
