If you know what the build-time dependencies are, you could just install it via a simple "apt-get package-name" command. The problem is that most advice about dependencies appears to be for Red Hat. For example, you might recommend a user to install package "foo-devel" when the corresponding Debian package is actually "foo-dev." There's also a "Debianized" source package of Scribus which has info on the "correct" build dependencies. Its build dependencies should also work for compiling cvs. To get the build dependencies for an official Debian source package, you can use the command "apt-get build-dep src-package-name".
