It already does this for both a .dsc and a package name (causing it to
use “apt-cache showsrc”).  The one case it doesn't do this is when it
uses debian/control.

We should be able to add handling for that in the case that
mk-build-deps detects it is in "source" mode and doesn't know a version.

Cheers,
