There's the build dependencies of cmake on Ubuntu:
libarchive-dev (>= 2.8.0),
libbz2-dev,
libcurl4-openssl-dev | libcurl-ssl-dev,
libexpat1-dev,
libjsoncpp-dev,
liblzma-dev,
libncurses5-dev,
libuv1-dev,
procps [!hurd-any],
python-sphinx,
qtbase5-dev <!stage1>,
zlib1g-dev
(I've omitted the ones obviously required by Debian build scripts.)
Are you going to include those as well?
