In your debian/control file you need a line that looks similar to this:

Depends: foo, bar, baz(>=1.0)

Edit: dpkg -i does not download dependencies only apt-get does that. You normally need to run sudo apt-get install -f after you used dpkg -i unless you add your package to an apt repository and install it from there
