It is part of dpkg-dev, a package that you must install if you want to build any Debian package. Installing build-essential is also highly recommended if you don't want to experience build failures. Another package that you should install is fakeroot, it allows you to build packages without having to become root (dpkg-dev should really recommend it, but currently does not).
