you need the libgdal1-dev package installed.
( see `apt-file search ogr_api.h` )

the grass-dev package should be depending on that I guess.
right now it only depends on libproj-dev:

ps- I've made some experimental improvements to g.extension in
grass 6.5svn yesterday, and altered the 'make install' target
to try and set the install dir automatically so you can avoid
the MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/lib/grass64 stuff in future. we'll get
there..
