Can you provide a reference to this thesis?  debian-policy reads:

"Source packages that require certain binary packages to be installed
or absent at the time of building the package can declare
relationships to those binary packages."

maint-guide:

"If some non-standard compiler or other tool is needed to build your
package, you should add it to the `Build-Depends' line."

Nothing in the description involves distributions and Debian releases.
