Directly as binaries (also installs all dependend development packages
like PAL):
sudo aptitude install libstarlink-ast-dev libsofa-c-dev
To compile from source:
sudo aptitude install devscripts
dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/iausofa-c/iausofa-c_2012.03.01-1.dsc
dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/starlink-pal/starlink-pal_0.3.0-2.dsc
dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/starlink-ast/starlink-ast_7.3.1+dfsg-1.dsc
You may need to install some dependencies first; the scripts will notify
you which you need.

IRAF is still not ready, and not uploaded to Debian yet.

The equivalent to RPM's ".spec" file is the debian/ subdirectory:
debian/control ... Package metadata (binary packages, dependencies etc.)
debian/rules ..... Makefile to actually build the package
debian/*.install . additional files to put in the binary packages
debian/patches/* . Patches to the source package
debian/watch ..... regexp to fetch new versions from upstream
debian/repack-dfsg.sh (private) script to remove not-policy-compliant
files from the sources
I can give detailed instructions for each package if you want, but maybe
better per personal mail.
Best regards
Ole
