It lists all the packages that have to be installed in order to
recompile the package (recent versions of dpkg check that this is
the case when you do an dpkg-buildpackage). It is explained in
the New Maintainers Guide and in the Policy of course. If you use
libsdl-dev then you have to include it in build-depends, as well as
ocaml, and most probably debhelper. You can omit Build-essential 
packages like gcc or make.
