There's no built-in way to do this when building a Debian package.

The only way to do it would be to modify debian/rules to support
this explicitly, and then you'd call:

  make -f debian/rules <pkg1>

So this looks like the best option.

Note that you can easily install all build-time dependencies
of a <package> with:

  apt-get build-dep <package>

If you want to get rid of the packages later after build,
apt-get autoremove will do.
