I suppose its just about reasonable on the part of the netatalk
developers to not have made the dependencies in their package explicit
and usable by apt since its not being distributed via a 3rd party
repository, but I think not naming them in the package description was a
major oversight unless its documented somewhere so obvious that OP should
not have overlooked it.
