I think you just need to set a UTF-8 locale, put e.g.
export LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
in your ~/.bashrc or any scripts that run apertium.
The command
$ locale -a
should give you a list of locales, if you don't have any UTF-8 ones,
you can do e.g.
$ echo "sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Could it be just libboost-dev? Or libboost-filesystem-dev?

The first two should be installed when you install apertium and
lttoolbox.
Ubuntu has libtextcat0, seems like Debian should too:
http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=libtextcat
libapertiumcombine1 is optional and not really useful unless you have an
SMT system running too. Available from
https://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-combine
if you feel adventurous.
