Ack.

We have Build-Depends: and Build-Depends-Indep: for a reason: binary-all
packages only need the latter, and allow reducing the load for the
autobuilders (which can then skip eg tex'in the manuals).
Now, as wrote in the first email, you did
apt-get build-dep libgsl0-dev
which is a _binary_ package, or a subset of the results produced from source
gsl. Apt-get simply outsmarted you and only got deps _for what you
requested_.
You are now able to run 'debian/rules binary-arch' --- or the equivalent
'dpkg-buildpackage -b -B' but you cannot build the WHOLE package on PARTIAL
depends. It all works as documented ... but yes, it is tricky.
Morale: try build-dep on the source package name:
apt-get build-dep gsl
Let me know if that works and I'll close the bug report.
Thanks, Dirk
