apt-get satisifies binary dependencies, not build dependencies! YOU have to ensure that the build dependencies are satisfied prior to building the package. Fortunately, since the build dependencies are declared, this isn't too tough. There may be a tool which satisifies the build-dependencies for you; I don't know of one though.
