Since yesterday, xcrysden is in Debian Sid (unstable), see:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/xcrysden
http://packages.debian.org/sid/xcrysden-data

If you use Debian Sid (aka unstable), you may install simply as:

apt-get install xcrysden

Alternatively, consider compiling this package:
http://www.xcrysden.org/download/xcrysden-1.5.53.tar.gz

it should compile smoothly on Debian. It needs the following packages:
libfftw3-dev, tk8.5-dev, tcl8.5-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev,
libxmu-headers, libxmu-dev, libx11-dev, libgcc1, gfortran. Most of these
are probably already install, check with dpkg -l.
