Actually @-mkdir -p .deps/$(@D) should do as .deps should be done before 
.deps/., but what Austin suggested in IRC are much better options:

@mkdir -p .deps/$(@D:/.=)

or

@mkdir -p .deps/$(patsubst %/.,%,$(@D))


Disclaimer: I copied the substution parts directly from IRC buffer (without
testing but these looks sound), I am to blame suggesting these if these did
not work. I.e. what ever you paid me for getting these suggestions are
refunded ;)
