[Bug 710262] Re: build-rdeps should support ubuntu distributions and components

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

Should not be hard to extend it to Ubuntu.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: devscripts
  
  Currently build-rdeps only support debian. It looks for unstable
  distribution and main, contrib, non-free components
  
  Passing --origin Ubuntu should make it looks in ubuntu default
  components. And it should also default to --origin Ubuntu and set
  --distribution to the current one
+ 
+ Workaraound: build-rdeps --distribution `lsb_release -s --codename`
+ [packagename]
