Not totally automatic, but you could probably do something in debian/rules to sed (or, if you're me, perl) it out of the changelog, and then do something like: echo "package:Version=$(VERSION)" > debian/substvars dpkg-shlibdeps dpkg-gencontrol where debian/control would have Depends: ppp (${package:Version}) The whole substvars is much more powerful than most people use. I've recently taken to exploiting it for libc-dev dependencies, since the Alpha has libc6.1-dev and i386 has libc6-dev.
