Bug Description
Right now only run time dependencies seem to be managed via the 'requires' attribute. Is there a build time dependency capability in distutils that we can use? Because if so, we should scan setup.py for any modules it imports and use those to set the build time dependencies.
This is a break-out bug from bug 643655.

Not that I know of.
python-mkdebian currently makes some minor effort to calculate build dependencies, which should be correct for the packaging that it creates by itself.
