What about erasing the dependency totally? From the list of build-essential_7 : BEGIN LIST OF PACKAGES libc6-dev [!alpha !hurd-i386] | libc0.3-dev [hurd-i386] | libc6.1-dev [alpha] | libc-dev
Because it's in Depends, not Build-Depends. Users aren't required to install build-essential.
Of course, in order to actually use the -dev packages you've installed, you have to install gcc, which depends on libc-dev...
