It is in extras but I suspect one of its dependencies is not.  I have not 
tested installing the -dev packages just from extras (I have tested that the 
lib packages themselves install just from extras).  Try adding extras-devel 
to your sources.list and try again -- I recommend that anyone doing 
development has extras-devel in their list as it helps us all find any 
package conflict problems early on.

If that still doesn't work, use apt-get to try to install the dependency that 
is causing the trouble (in this case libgnutls-dev) and see what error is 
reported.  It will probably be one or more dependencies of *that* package so 
recurse until you find the package that apt actually can't find.

Let me know how you get on because it would be a good idea to fix whatever the 
dependency is that is causing the trouble.

Yes, I don't currently build x86 packages.  I hope to start doing that soon, 
but it may be a few more weeks.
