Debian::Dependency just follows Debian Policy (7.1) which doesn't
know yet about build profiles:
https://bugs.debian.org/757760
https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec

If the spec in the wiki is correct, adding this to the parse() sub in
./lib/Debian/Dependency.pm should be relatively straightforward.
And there's even a t/Dep.t.
