Build-Depends is used only during build-time. (Usually on the buildds, though it can be on developer's computers as well.) Depends, on the other hand, are packages that are required for the package to /run/, and must be installed on the users' machines. For certain packages that are interpreted, rather than compiled, these are frequently the same list. (Think: python packages that don't have C extensions). Hope that makes sense!
