Maybe it should parse the "Build-Depends:" line in debian/control and get the list of packages to install from there, so that only one file in the source tree has a list of Debian dependencies.

(And perhaps use the Requires: lines from packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in in scripts for RPM-based Linuxes?  It'd probably have to stick -dev after the package names.)
