Something akin to: deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free (the details are different: you are at least on trixie, I guess, and you might want to choose another source).

Note that Debian might have some patches to make the package buildable in Debian context; so installing Debian's build deps is just an approximation. If I were you, I'd first install the Debian src package and its build deps, build that, and work on from there. Cheers -- t
