It was build on a Debian unstable, and the package worked on the current
Ubunty edgy. But that is probably because that has new versions.

Which dependencies are unmet? The only versioned depends are lsb-base
and libgnutls13. The first should not cause a problem, the latter can be
 easily changed to libgnutls12 and that should work. Modify
debian/control for that and it should work.

Unfortunately one can't make a 'generic-latest-on-the-buildbox' control
file as far as I know. If one knows how, yell.

See above on how to fix that, just use libgnutls13.

The dependency for libgnutls13 is there as libgnutls12 is deprecated due
to security bugs or something in that area.
