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

[殷啟聰 | Kai-Chung Yan]

For now I can use `--origin Ubuntu --distribution disco` to grep the
`main` archive, but there is no way to include other archive such as
`multiverse` or `universe`.

Would be great to add a new option for including user-defined
"components". Oddly there is one for exclusion, i.e. `--exclude-
component`.

Title:
  build-rdeps should support ubuntu distributions and components

Status in devscripts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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]
