This is outdated. We now generate an up-to-date version of this manual 
section at boostrapping time. Use "cat src/doc/en/installation/debian*.txt" 
to print it.

Or re-run configure and take a look at the system package installation 
hints that it prints at the very end.

Post config.log, and we can take a closer look.
