Installing dependencies specified in debian/control file

[Stephen Rasku <srasku@wurldtech.com>]

I am in the process of updating a Ruby file used in our build system. 
It looks for `Depends` lines in a debian/control file in our repository, 
checks every dependency, and apt-get installs everything that isn't 
installed.

We want to get rid of the Ruby dependency.  I started porting this to 
Python but I am wondering if this functionality already exists somewhere 
else.
