Splunk does not explicitly require any additional packages to be installed on a Debian system. Installation instructions may be found at: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Installation/InstallonLinux#Debian_DEB_install

Accurate system time is essential for the optimum operation of all Splunk components. Please consider installing and configuring as a service ntp on all your Debian systems hosting Splunk.

I don't expect that Splunk has any dependencies. The installation notes can be found here : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/InstallonLinux#Debian_DEB_install

It just specifies that you install the DEB package.
