I've built shotwell on top of Debian Squeeze. Yes, you have to install a few newer versions of libraries. There were a couple of main libraries that I installed newer versions of so to avoid conflicts I put them in a non-standard place ($HOME/local/lib) and then I call shotwell via a shell script that sets $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before calling shotwell. If you would be interested, I can dig back and see what extra I installed.
