- profile-data-dev dev headers for accessing profile data
- opengles-sgx-img-common-dev headers for the SGX drivers
- libgles2-sgx-img-dev headers for the SGX drivers

- libcsnet-dev header files describing the interface to the Phone.Net Dbus interface used for cell network information (signal strength, cell site changes, operator name/code changes, 2G/3G changes etc). This one is missing dependencies so you will have to force it to install and ignore the dependencies.

Because the /usr/share/doc bit is removed on the device, you will need to use apt-get to download the .deb and extract the files from that
- csd-gprs This pakage contains full documentation for the dbus interface in /usr/share/doc/csd-gprs
- csd-call This package contains some example code of how one might call libcscall in /usr/share/doc/csd-call/README.gz. Not that useful without headers for libcscall but may provide some tidbits of info
