This won't work, since lilydev should install software with different  
version numbers than ubuntu supplies.  For example, until recently we  
insisted that fontforge be compiled with --enable-double, whereas ubuntu  
explicitly disabled that option.  Due to the discussion in Waltrop, we're  
dropping the --enable-double requirement.  However, we still need astyle  
2.02 or 2.02.1; Ubuntu 12.04 supplies 1.2.4 or something like that.

That said, it would certainly be possible to create a deb which installs  
*most* of the additional software we need for lilydev (BTW, build-dep  
lilypond fails to install autoconf!).  Then we could have a shorter list of  
additional software to install manually.  That would make James' life  
easier, as well as making it easier for people  who want to build on top of  
a stock ubuntu install.
