Parsing debian/control files. For example:

github.com

Kicksecure/sdwdate/blob/master/debian/control#L18


      
          Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 13.11.6), debhelper-compat (= 13),
           dh-apparmor, dh-python, python3
          Homepage: https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Sdwdate
          Vcs-Browser: https://github.com/Kicksecure/sdwdate
          Vcs-Git: https://github.com/Kicksecure/sdwdate.git
          Standards-Version: 4.6.2
          Rules-Requires-Root: no
          
          Package: sdwdate
          Architecture: all
          Depends: sudo, bc, helper-scripts, adduser,
           gcc, libc6-dev, python3-stem, python3-dateutil,
           python3-socks, python3-sdnotify, python3-requests, python3, tor,
           ${python3:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
          Recommends: timesanitycheck, bootclockrandomization
          Provides: time-daemon
          Conflicts: time-daemon
          Description: Secure Distributed Network Time Synchronization
           Time keeping is crucial for security, privacy, and anonymity. Sdwdate is a Tor
           friendly replacement for rdate and ntpdate that sets the system's clock by
           communicating via onion encrypted TCP with Tor onion webservers.

the end result should be:

make_deb_build_dependencies="debhelper genmkfile ruby-ronn dh-systemd dh-apparmor"

and

make_deb_runtime_dependencies="sudo logrotate bc ruby ruby-inline ruby-dev ruby-all-dev gcc libc6-dev python3-dateutil python3-gevent  python3-socks python3-guimessages python3 tor"

Does that make sense?

Apparently debian control-files aren’t ment to be parsed, or something. My google-fu seems to be stronger than my multiline-regexp-fu, so this package management - How to install / parse build dependencies from debian/control? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange seems like a workable solution.
perl -ne 'next if /^#/; $p=(s/^Build-Depends:\s*/ / or (/^ / and $p)); s/,|\n|$[^)]+$//mg; print if $p' < debian/control 
for Build-Depends and
perl -ne 'next if /^#/; $p=(s/^Depends:\s*/ / or (/^ / and $p)); s/,|\n|$[^)]+$//mg; print if $p'  < debian/control | sed 's/${.*}//' | tr -d '|' 
for runtime depends.

I had a quick look at python3-debian as well, but it seems more geared towards doing things with ready-made .debs and already installed packages.

This certainly isn’t very pretty, but it does work.
