Build dependencies are installed in the same location that they're always
installed; Built-Using doesn't change anything about the functioning of
the package manager.

Maybe you thought that Built-Using meant that the other *source* package
is installed at build time?  If so, no, that's not the case.  Built-Using
doesn't change anything about the build process; it only documents, for
archive purposes, the location of additional source used to produce the
binary package.
