i had a look at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/216817551/scribus-ng_1.5.0-0ubuntu15.10.0~ppa1.dscand it says:
Build-Depends:
- cmake (>= 2.4.3),
- debhelper (>= 9),
- gettext,
- libboost-python-dev,
- libcairo2-dev,
- libcdr-dev (>= 0.1),
- libcups2-dev,
- libgraphicsmagick1-dev,
- libhunspell-dev,
- libhyphen-dev,
- liblcms2-dev,
- libmspub-dev (>= 0.1),
- libosgearth-dev [!armel !armhf],
- libpagemaker-dev,
- libpodofo-dev (>= 0.9.0),
- libpoppler-private-dev,
- libpoppler-qt5-dev,
- libqt5opengl5-dev,
- libqt5webkit5-dev,
- librevenge-dev,
- libtiff-dev,
- libvisio-dev (>= 0.1),
- libwpg-dev,
- libxml2-dev (>= 2.6.16),
- python-all-dev (>= 2.6.6-3~),
- qtbase5-dev,
- qttools5-dev,
- qttools5-dev-tools,
- zlib1g-dev
as already said, personally, i would not install
- libosgearth-dev [!armel !armhf],
the following packages do not seem mandatory to me:
- libcdr-dev (>= 0.1),
- libpagemaker-dev,
- libqt5opengl5-dev,
- libvisio-dev (>= 0.1),
- libwpg-dev,
they mostly relate to foreign file formats
and this one seems a bit overkill to me:
- python-all-dev (>= 2.6.6-3~),
you might get along with a smaller collection of python-dev modules :-)
buona fortuna!
