debian-install build errors from dependancies

[Luke]

Having made udebs from the 2.6.17-11 source provided by Ubuntu, I'm now
trying to fakeroot make_monolithic, or fakeroot make_netboot.

Netboot gives:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb: Depends: openoffice.org-common (>=
2.0.4~rc3) but it is not going to be installed or
                                      language-support-en but it is not
going to be installed
                             Depends: openoffice.org-common (< 2.0.5)
but it is not going to be installed or
                                      language-support-en but it is not
going to be installed
  openoffice.org-l10n-en-za: Depends: openoffice.org-common (>=
2.0.4~rc3) but it is not going to be installed or
                                      language-support-en but it is not
going to be installed
                             Depends: openoffice.org-common (< 2.0.5)
but it is not going to be installed or
                                      language-support-en but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages
make[2]: *** [stamps/get_udebs-netboot-stamp] Error 100
make[1]: *** [_build] Error 2
make: *** [build_netboot] Error 2

while monolithic results in:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  elilo-installer: Depends: firmware-modules but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


What would be causing these to occur?  I don't understand what I would
have done wrong, to cause dependancy problems to arise.

Thanks -
