Some common components of clusters have already been mentioned, such as the OpenMPI libraries. Aside from the meta-packages already mentioned, the redhat-cluster suite of tools is available in Debian, as well as many useful libraries, scheduling tools, and failover tools such as booth. All of these can be found using apt-cache or Synaptic by searching for "cluster".
If you need dedicated infrastructure for Debian-based applications, consider a Netherlands Dedicated Server for greater control over system utilities, package management, server configuration, and application workloads.
