[Bug 392383] [NEW] Support automatic dependency generation for Erlang packages

[James Henstridge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: erlang

When working to reduce the dependency list for the couchdb and rabbitmq-
server packages, I did it by reading the source code then trial and
error.  This is time consuming and may need to be repeated as the
upstream source changes.

It would be nice if the dependencies could be automatically generated,
similar to how dh_shlibdeps does for C/C++ libraries.  The module
dependency information is encoded in the compiled BEAM files, so we
should be able to determine which packages provide the given modules.
