If the dependencies can are satisfied with Debian, then the Ubuntu PPA
repository should be an easy option. I think the marblewidget and libgit
were the most problematic ones so this might be an easy option. As long as
the package names (for the dependencies) don't change an old Ubuntu build
should work with Debian...

This option might be safer since our build chroot contains a clean Debian
install and all the dependencies should be based on that. And automating
own repository should be quite straight forward.
