That's easy: add experimental to your sources.list and aptitude update;
aptitude install gcc-4.5
(http://packages.debian.org/experimental/gcc-4.5)

Examinging the buildlog failure linked in the message may be
sufficient to make the problem obvious to a C++-competent person.

For this particualr problem checking against the Debian source first
would be best. Once a patch that fixes it has been found we can apply
that to 'latest'. Therion does not have a publically-accessible
svn/git repo for the offical code (SFAIK). I have an svn repo for my
own Debian development purposes, but it's currently out of date. 

To get the debian sources just do apt-get source therion

The tarballs on the therion site remain definitive for upstream.

Thanks for taking an interest - I hope someone can fix this.
