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?
