I made an OCaml library that relies on an external/system package (namely libnauty2-dev).

Since I would like my library to be installed via opam I looked for a way to specify the external lib as a dependency. So far I have found that .opam files can specify such dependencies with 

depexts: [ "libnauty2" ]

And here is my question: Is there a way to specify my dependency in a dune-project file so that generated .opam file will contain the same dependency ?

The dune language doesn't directly support this part of opam file generation, but you can create a <packagename>.opam.template file with your depexts rules and dune will paste the contents of that file at the end of the generated .opam file.
