Hi,
Welcome as a Debian user.
Be aware that Debian is only expected to work on squeeze at the moment. If
there is things to add for this support, you are welcome to provide them. It
migth only be little work like editing *.yaml files for dependencies.

It seems it doesn't succeed when checkouting perception_pcl
Did you install the pre-requisite packages :

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget
python-setuptools mercurial

(section 1.1. http://www.ros.org/wiki/diamondback/Installation/Debian)
try also to manually launch svn or mercurial with
svn --version
hg --version

I think your installation went wrong. It didn't go to the end. Here is a
list of stack you should have :
http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no
I am sorry I don't have a pure diamomndback installed I can't ls my stack
dir for a more readable output.

That's due to the incorrect install. Rosinstall did not go into the rosdep
installation part. You can anyway ask manually rosmake to do it for each
package you compile with a --rosdep-install option (as for any package btw).
In case of a partial installation like this you can go further and ask to
compile everything with a :
rosmake --all --rosdep-install
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosmake

But I advice you to delete the partial installation I do all correctly until
it works. You'll be anoy later anyway.

You shouldn't have to do this. I think it is the same problem, try a rosmake
"rosrecord --rosdep-install"

You should have written your problem to :
http://answers.ros.org
please ask question there so I can more easily be searchable
