I've figured out how to get this to work as a sort of semi-fix until the official debians are finalized and released. As fergs mentioned the problem is indeed with incompatabilities with ROS Indigo Gazebo and URDF. The temporary fix is to install Gazebo from source. This then lets gazebo use the urdf library that comes packaged with trusty.

Here are the steps I took from a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install:

Install gazebo 2.2 from source. (I did the optional stage/player libraries as well) Install ros-indigo-desktop-full using apt-get Install ros turtlebot packages from source (only available option currently).

Use instructions found at: http://gazebosim.org/wiki/2.2/install http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutorials/indigo/SourceInstallation
