no, not yet (it is a relatively young addition to the Debian policy). I
have filed a bug against haskell-devscripts to remember that (#699329).
Maybe dh_buildinfo can be extended to output its results as a substvar?
After all, it already collects a (safe approximation) to the data
expected in the Built-Using header:
„This script is designed to be run at build-time, and registers
in a file the list of packages declared as build-time
dependencies, as well as build-essential packages, together with
their versions, as installed in the build machine.“
So all that seems to be missing is to look up the source name and
versions of these packages.
Greetings,
Joachim
