Oh, that sounds interesting. I always use debhelper myself. Would it be
possible to explain how the Build-Depends field works in YADA so it could be
intergrated into other Debain build tools like debhelper.

Maybe have a dh_checkdeps package.

Or should source-depends be in dpkg-buildpackage? I suppose we should just sit
back and wait for DPKGv2.
