Maybe worth sending a Request For Package[1] in Debian? (that process involves sending an email, or running 'reportbug' at the command-line if you have it installed). Most of the install steps would be rolled into the dependency list by the maintainer, I imagine (and many of them look like they're only required at compile-time).

No guarantees on when it might appear as a package, of course, but it doesn't take long to ask (and hopefully not too long to implement, either).
