Naturally, the version in testing and unstable, 1.6.0-1, doesn't install as it depends on more recent versions than what is in Debian 8 for libgnutls30, libncursesw5 and libtinfo5. The version in experimental, 1.6.1-2, is even worse (wants a newer libc6).

This will be the next step. Good point about build dependencies, will need to find a way around that. I have a feeling that brute force will be involved.
