Answer 1

With Debian you can use the Dotdeb repository and install

nginx-passenger

Answer 2

I had the same issue with libcurl4-openssl-dev. Try sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev which should work just fine.

Give it a try, and if it doesn't work please let me know and I'll show you a work around to have libcurl4-openssl-dev installed.
