Then do dpkg-checkbuilddeps to see the additional packages you will
need to compile it.  They ought to put this where you can see it
before you download. [Took several wget -c's throughout the night just
to find out.]:

Build-Depends: autoconf (>=2.13), autotools-dev, bison | byacc, csh,
debhelper (>= 4.0.2), doxygen, fftw3-dev, flex, libc6-dev,
libfreetype6-dev, libgdal1-dev, libjpeg62-dev | libjpeg-mmx-dev,
libncurses5-dev, libpng12-dev, libreadline4-dev, libtiff4-dev,
postgresql-client, postgresql-dev, proj (>= 4.4.7), tcl8.3-dev,
tk8.3-dev, unixodbc-dev, xlibmesa-gl-dev, xlibmesa-glu-dev, xlibs-dev,
zlib1g-dev, libgdal1

(Note how csh is there and not virtual c-shell, etc.)

I will now try the third alternative,
http://bullhorn.org unstable/main libgrass5.7 5.7.0-4, grass5.7 5.7.0-4
