You don't have any source URLs in your sources.list file?  How can you
live that way?  :-)

Duplicate those and convert the deb to deb-src.

 deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
 deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
 deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
 deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

Then run apt-get update.  And then build-dep again.
