You seems to be confusing ${Source-Version} with ${source:Version}. The latter 
s understood by dpkg-dev >= 1.13.19, so build-depending on it is perfectly in 
order. When referring to an arch: all package, use >= ${source:Version}, when 
referring to an arch: any package, use = ${binary:Version}.

Hm, why ${Source:Version} is written with a capital 'S' ?
