Hi
Your package recommends oprofile-modules0.7 which is not available in
unstable (anymore).
Cheers

This package has been removed from the Debian GNU/Linux unstable
release at my request.
All upstream development for prospect has been at a halt for over a
year. Further, prospect will only run on 2.4 or earlier kernels,
using versions of the oprofile kernel module (0.7, as this bug
indicates) that only work on 2.4 kernels. There was some hope that
someone would be willing to bring prospect forward to Linux 2.6 but
after two and a half years, that appears highly unlikely.
Since prospect functionality can be found in oprofile and other
similar tools, and since prospect cannot support the 2.6 kernels
that are now the default, it made sense to simply remove it from
Debian and let it slip away peacefully.
