looks like an autopackage error.  It seems you have autopackage
installed on your system, can you try what happens if you remove
autopackage?  The lilypond install command should still work,
it has autopackage on board.

Yes, that's very sad.  LilyPond's dependencies in Debian have been
stalled for quite some time.

Hmm, that should have worked, but I'm using gs-afpl 8.50.  Any success
stories of compiling lilypond-2.6.3 with gs-8.15?

Yes.

Only for the regular Debian releases, but Debian is still at 2.4, as
2.6 does not yet build because of missing dependencies.
