You want something like this:
$ cat debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-ruby.conf
───────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-ruby.conf
───────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ extra_depends = build-essential
───────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
(source: rubygems)
This is documented in the autodep8(1) manpage.
