[Distutils] stdeb vs dependencies?

[K. Richard Pixley]

What is the expected work flow around package dependencies between 
python packages and debs in stdeb?

I was expecting it to declare any deb dependencies found, then translate 
any python dependencies into the names they would have if those pypi 
packages were translated using stdeb.  What I'm seeing with stdeb-0.5.1 
is that no dependencies are declared at all, but instead, I'm seeing 
unresolved macro references to ${python:Depends}.
