There is also this in haskell-debian-utils, although not very widely

Tool which will parse the Build-Depends{-Indep} lines from debian/control

see http://packages.debian.org/sid/haskell-debian-utils
But it doesn't create a meta packages, which is (IMHO) one of the key
features of mk-build-deps. The information is then exposed quite clearly
by several tools as you'll see that meta-package as local/obsolete… very
handy when cleaning up the system.
pbuilder-satisfydepends has the same feature, but it always uses
"pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy" as a name for the meta-package. So, it's
not possible to track build-depends of two different source packages… which
is possible using mk-build-deps. I didn't see this feature implemented in
other mentioned tools.
