Umm - I think the only "one move" solution is dist-upgrade (upgrade to
Intrepid).  Some of those dependencies are pretty heavy - qt and
libstdc++ for two -  and will affect the packages that you currently
have installed (in Hardy).

Out of curiosity (laziness), what's new in the later version of
Stellarium (that's not in the Hardy version)?
