You should qualify it by Debian version.  I've had no problems
(that weren't fixed by the next CVS upgrade) compiling Scribus on
Debian Testing or Unstable.  And by the Debian definition Scribus
is unstable software (that is, it's still being improved and not
just patched because of security issues).

I think most problems building Scribus on Debian comes from
(well-meaning) people giving advice intended for rpm-based
systems (Fedora, Mandrake, etc.).  For example, get foo-devel
when what you need is libfoo-dev.
