Often there will be, but:

(a) The order of fields in an 822 stanza is not defined, so it is
    legal for Build-Depends to be last.

(b) If one wants to satisfy a dependency string, rather than the
    requirements of some source package, pbuilder-satisfydepends's
    interface is reasonably plausible - one just invents a synthetic
    .dsc.  But the obvious way of doing this has a .dsc containing
    only a Build-Depends which would work except that it needs a
    silly extra blank line.

Ian.
