You do not say which version of Debian you are running.  But in Wheezy, Debian 
7, which I am running on this machine, there is a package for awstats:

lisi@Tux-II:~$ aptitude search awstats
p   awstats                         - powerful and featureful web server log 
ana
lisi@Tux-II:~$

On checking, there is one available for all versions, 

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=awstats&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Package awstats
squeeze (oldoldstable) (web): powerful and featureful web server log analyzer 
6.9.5~dfsg-5: all
wheezy (oldstable) (web): powerful and featureful web server log analyzer 
7.0~dfsg-7: all
jessie (stable) (web): powerful and featureful web server log analyzer 
7.2+dfsg-1: all
stretch (testing) (web): powerful and featureful web server log analyzer 
7.4+dfsg-1: all
sid (unstable) (web): powerful and featureful web server log analyzer 
7.4+dfsg-1: all

so you can just install it using your preferred package manager, e.g.:

# aptitude update
#aptitude install awstats
