It isn't a possibility yet, it could be if the apt maintainers implemented it.
I suggest: depending or build-depending on foo:source would make apt
place source packages at /usr/src/debian/.
Another one I would like is to be able to depend or build-dep on
foo:build-depends or foo [Build-Depends] (or by extension
foo:depends), which would mean we could get rid of the ugly hack that
is mk-build-deps.
