I'm aware of this potencial problem. I believe however that I got both
the build-dependencies (things needed to build the package) and the
actual package dependencies right, so if FreeRIDE is installed using
apt-get everything should be taken care of automatically. 
See:

Package: freeride
Depends: ruby1.7, libripper-ruby1.7 (>= 0.0.5-1), libfox1.0 (>=
1.0.29-1), libfox-ruby1.7 (>= 1.0.16-1), libfxscintilla1 (>= 1.49-1)
 
Package: libfox1.0
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libgl1, libjpeg62, libpng12-0,
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-15), libtiff3g, xlibs (>> 4.1.0),
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

Package: libfxscintilla1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1)
[^ weird! shouldn't be linked to the FOX so? Might have to fix this.] 

Moreover, libfxscintilla1 build-depends on libgl-dev.
As far as libraries are concerned, the dependencies should be mostly right
since they're automatically determined during package creation: a script
checks what libraries an executable and/or library is linked against,
figures out the packages they belong to, and adds automatically the
dependency.

I would ask Daniel Bretoi (happy Debian user too I believe) to test my
packages and tell me if they installed cleanly or not. Were there any
dep. problem, it'd be very easy for me to fix it.

Thanks for pointing to libgl. I hadn't either thought a lot about it
since I did already have it installed it the 2 machines I tested my
packages in...
