gcc/g++ are considered "build-essential", so they are always installed -- that is, the default versions of gcc/g++ (3.0 for hppa, 2.96 for ia64, etc) are always installed. If you want something different, then you need to specify e.g. g++-3.0 OTOH, there is no default fortran compiler in build-essential, so you need to specify g77 explicitly. If you *need* g77-3.0, then you should build-dep g77-3.0 and specifically use g77-3.0 (and not just g77) in your build process. Incidentally, the new gcc 2.96 compiler seems to fix the ia64 buidl problems with r-base, so a specific versionoverride might no longer be necessary.
