Hello!

Installing the "buildd" package without installing the "devscripts" package,
will result in the build daemon fail with:

> Can't exec "dcmd": No such file or directory at 
> /usr/share/perl5/Buildd/Daemon.pm line 704.

This leads to packages being built and signed, but not uploaded.

Thus, the "buildd" binary package should add a dependency to the "devscripts" 
package
in order to address this issue unles there is a compelling reason not to have
"devscripts" installed at the same time as the "buildd" package.

Also, could we fix #774856 [1] as well? I am constantly running into this when 
setting
up new buildds for Debian Ports.

Thanks,
Adrian
