You need to install the g++ and libstdc++ packages. They are new
in Debian-2.0 (introduced only a couple? of weeks ago).
The big advantage to those packages is that
- the g++ comes from egcs, and thus are supposed to be _much_ better
at compiling c++ code
- There's a new libstdc++ package. That in itslef isn't much of an
advantage, but in this case it means it's got a differnt maintainer
than the old libg++272 package (me, and I've not had much time to
spend on libg++272 lately).
Oh, and you'll probably also want to install the libstdc++ -dev package,
I'm sure.

The upstream maintainer is allowed to do things different
than Debian, but only if he has good reasons to do so.
