Do you have a pointer to this logic, It would be great to be able to update the 
B-D via this mecanisme like we do with cabal-debian.
We should have a pip-debian which could take care of upgrading the B-D in the 
control file each time we integrate a new upstream version.

This is a pity..., it will defeat automatic packaging...

this is something I was wondering also.

but usualy we do not tag with <!nocheck> the runtime dependecies in the B-D 
field.

Do we need to have the run-time in the B-D in order to build the package 
(without running the test ?)
