That list does not look right for buster, if it were me I'd go back to 
the requirements on the generic install from source page and work out 
the proper package requirements for buster. For example:
buster uses postgresql v11 (a Gianluigi pointed out) - the correct 
client side library is "libpq5" not libpq, also
I don't see why postgresql-server-dev is included at all, that's the 
headers for programming the postgres server?

You will need to go though each and every one of these (that you want) 
and find out exactly what bit is missing. I know that bzlib in the 
distro we use is a pain because the actual libraries (.so files) are 
spread out over several library rpms that have nothing to do really with 
bzip. Your mileage may differ.
