I don't have any idea how to build Debian packages but I can tell you the dependency tree.

opensm -> libibumad

infiniband-diags -> libibmad  -> libibumad
                 -> libibumad
                 -> opensm-libs

Also, libibcommon no longer exists.  I think I have seen this in some Ubuntu installs with older opensm/infiniband-diags packages.

Hope this helps,
Ira
