That's specifically disabled in build environments -- only strict dependencies are guaranteed to be installed. The best way to test whether a package will build is to compile it in a minimal chroot. The automated way to do so is to use a tool like sbuild or pbuilder -- the former is used on official buildds and more fit for heavy-duty use, while pbuilder is much easier to use.
