looks fine. dpkg-source and -buildpackage know nothing about build-depends,
this is just (AFAIU) a helper field for porters.
You have to use a Build-Depends aware tool for building pacakges, like
sbuild. sbuild checks for build-depends and (de)-installs packages with apt
as needed. Seems I have to send my Build-Depends mail again... there was a
little discusion on -devel, Roman explained how to check out sbuild.
