[PATCH v2] scripts: builddeb: allow customization of "Depends:" fields

[Henning Schild]

The debian packages coming out of "make *deb-pkg" lack the "Depends:"
field. If one tries to install a fresh system with such a "linux-image"
debootstrap or multistrap might try to install the kernel before its
deps and the package hooks will fail.

Different debian-based distros use different values for the missing
fields. And the values differ between distro versions as well. So
hardcoding is not possible.

This patch introduces an option variable for every debian package built
by builddeb. That allows advanced users to specify additional
dependencies for all packages. All the new variables are optional.
