Hi,

I maintain the debian packages of ptlib, opal, ekiga, you could probably 
use the same (or similar) build dependencies.  Look at the *.diff.gz 
files from http://snapshots.ekiga.net/snapshots/debian/?C=S;O=A, the 
control patch hunk, the Build-Depends field (or just search for 
Build-Depends).
