Bug#787093: autopkgtest: dpkg-deb chokes with build profiles in Build-Depends:

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 3.14.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

gem2deb seems to the first package to use build profiles in the official
Debian  archive, and it started to cause fallout in several places.
autopkgtest is also affected.

The fake package created to encode the test dependencies gets the
Build-Dependencies of the source package, and when it contains build
profiles, dpkg-deb chokes on it. Arguably dpkg-deb could ignore build
profiles, but since build profiles were proposed explicitly as an
extension for the Build-Depends: field, I'd say it makes sense to fix
this in autopkgtest.

The attached patch fixes this by filtering out build profile
specifications from dependencies.
