# there's a control (debian/control) file somewhere in the current
# directory, and if it's so, it'll install the build dependencies
# listed there.
#
# If it gets a single argument, and it's the name of a file, it will
# read it, supposing that each line contains the name of a package,
# and install the build dependencies for all those.
#
# Otherwise, if there is more than one argument, or the given argument
# isn't the name of an existing file, it will suppose that the each
# argument is the name of a package, and install the dependencies for
# all of them.
