Dear Tim,

> lists the packages Axiom expects to be installed for Debian as:
> 
> gcc build-essential debhelper gettext gs-gpl html2text
> intltool-debian libgmp3-dev libice-dev libxau-dev libxaw7-dev
> po-debconf x-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev
> libreadline5-dev gawk texlive-pstricks git-core texlive

Unfortunately this list is no longer correct. At least 
in the unstable / sid branch of Debian, there are several
packages renamed or removed. Trying to apt-get install the 
above list to check stops with:


  Package libreadline5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another 
package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  is only available from another source
  However the following packages replace it:
    libreadline-gplv2-dev:i386 lib64readline-gplv2-dev:i386 
libreadline-gplv2-dev

  E: Unable to locate package gs-gpl
  E: Unable to locate package x-dev
  E: Package 'libreadline5-dev' has no installation candidate

It is not urgent for me, so please do not waste your time here.
On the other hand, it might be a problem with the current Debian
development branch which needs to be fixed for new Axiom packages
anyway.
