This is fairly normal behaviour. dpkg won't, by itself, download and
install dependencies. That job is left to the higher-level tools such as
apt-get and aptitude.
You can either fetch and install those dependencies yourself (lsb-core
and ia32-libs. It is probably safest to install all three at the same
time and let dpkg work out the ordering: dpkg -i lsb-core*.deb
ia32-libs*.deb google-earth-stable*.deb) or you can use a command such
as apt-get -f install to fix things up. After a dpkg -i, you would
have google-earth-stable in a half-installed state. apt-get should be
able to spot that this can be fixed by installing its dependencies.
Sometimes, though, apt-get will suggest that the way to fix things is to
remove the package you just installed - that probably means the
dependecies can't be satisfied.
I also build a deb from make-googleearth-package with following result:

This is the same issue. It's not saying that the dependencies CAN'T be
installed, only that they AREN'T at the moment. It didn't try to install
them.
