I am not horrified of installing dpkg from Wheezy to build the package.
However, not specifying the dependency in the package requires me to
guess that it's dpkg what I need whereas setting the requirement would
take care of the dependency automagically by mk-build-deps and any
prospective backporters would know that they need dpkg or change the
build script.
Also note that the package requires quilt to build but does not depend on it.
Thanks
