[Ros-release] Wet Prereleases

[Tully Foote]

This is a regression in the old performance.  The issues is that when
testing several packages together, it pulls in the union of their system
dependencies, but when building the debs, they only get their own declared
ones.  We should make the prerelease capture each of their dependencies.  I
ticket at https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/jenkins_scripts would be a
good place to track this.
