Fortunately, you don't need that under Debian; you have 2 solutions:

* For a small number of dependencies, you have special fields in the package
   that each address a list: Null, Suggest, Recommend & Depend, Depend oblige
   the depending package(s) to be installed at the same time of yours
   (solution that Petit Eric told you about),

* For a large number of dependencies, you can create an emty meta-package that
   only contains the needeed links as described above.
