In doc/developers/ppa.txt I'll note that it lists some more packages
that you need for building a .deb:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts dput quilt patch
          libcrypt-ssleay-perl debhelper cdbs python-docutils

It is probably "python-pyrex", "python-crypto", "python-medusa". Also
for 2.6 we are going to be using "pyftplib" now that Vincent's patch has
landed. I don't know if that code is packaged for Debian/Ubuntu yet or
not. (medusa hasn't been updated in a while, and is incompatible with
python2.6)

python-paramiko is something you need for sftp support

You'll need something like "build-essential" to get gcc et all.

I'm not really sure what else.
