How to include dependencies of local debian package in apt autoremove mechanism?

$

I created (via CMake but that is not important) a debian package which contains my application: my_app.deb which has a dependency on a 3rd party package in standard Debian repository (located in /etc/apt/sources.list)

dpkg-deb -I ./my_app.deb...Depends: some-libDescription: my application...

When I call sudo apt install ./my_app.deb it gets installed nicely along automatic installation (via the Internet) of some-lib. However, when i remove my application, some-lib is not included in autoremove mechanism:

sudo apt remove my-app (works)

sudo apt autoremove (doesn't work, some-lib remains installed)

Question: how to include dependencies of a local debian package to autoremove mechanism so they can be automatically removed afterwards?

Note: please feel free migrate this question elsewhere if it doesnt belong to SO, but I would like to get some help! Thanks!
