see the [dsc] link at the bottom of the package page and have a look for
"Build-Depends":
  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grass/grass_5.0.3-5.1.dsc


The 5.0.3 Debian package is built against 8.4; this is wrong.
see Debian bug 206844.

It works fine at runtime with TclTk 8.4's "wish", but it needs to be
built with 8.3-dev packages for NVIZ to work. (threading problem?)


Your best bet is to try the GRASS 6 packages which are being prepared by
the DebianGIS project, they work well and will hopefully be uploaded
into the main Debian system soon.
