Well, my first question would be "are you intending to use Asterisk Realtime 
features (ie: configurations in database tables instead of text files) in this 
installation?"

If you are, then you do need to install a few more packages on your Debian 
system, but if not, then there is no reason to pay any attention at all to 
anything to do with Alembic, Realtime, SQL etc.
