Maybe they expect us to do that for some of the ubuntu packages, too, hence all the deb-src lines.
Good you got these.

Have you tried apt-get build-dep <package>?

Scratchbox tries to auto-resolve dependancies. Its great, until it doesn't work. Then I use apt-get -b source <package> or the previously mentioned command.

The ARM problem you described earlier is a serious concern. If you take NetBSD they don't have an ARM port they have several ARM ports for specific ARM architectures. Hence, you'd run a different port on your Acorn Archimedes than on your XScale or your OMAP2.
