Bug Description

Binary package hint: devscripts

Currently build-rdeps only support debian. It looks for unstable distribution and main, contrib, non-free components

Passing --origin Ubuntu should make it looks in ubuntu default components. And it should also default to --origin Ubuntu and set --distribution to the current one

Workaraound: build-rdeps --distribution `lsb_release -s --codename` [packagename]

Should not be hard to extend it to Ubuntu.

For now I can use `--origin Ubuntu --distribution disco` to grep the `main` archive, but there is no way to include other archive such as `multiverse` or `universe`.

Would be great to add a new option for including user-defined "components". Oddly there is one for exclusion, i.e. `--exclude-component`.
