You'll probably need to generate the depends at build-time. Something like this: ifeq($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),powerpc) dh_gencontrol -p<pkg> -- -DDepends="lapack-dev" else dh_gencontrol -p<pkg> -- -DDepends="atlas-dev" endif Then just ommit this dep from the control file, and it will be added at build-time.
