As for every other package, ensure that you have a deb-src line in your
sources.list matching the deb line the package is coming from and execute:
apt-get build-dep aptitude
It should install all needed packages to build the package from source.
If not this is a serious bug you should report against the package!
Note that then I say source here I mean what is downloaded by:
apt-get source aptitude
If you get the source e.g. from a version control system in an unreleased
version it might require additional or just different dependencies
(but this will not happen that often in practice).
As this is a aptitude specific question I would suggest following up on
aptitude-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org as they can probably help better
with more specific problems than deity@ can.
Best regards
