Policy §2.5:
# "required"
# Packages which are necessary for the proper functioning of the
# system (usually, this means that dpkg functionality depends on
# these packages). Removing a "required" package may cause your
# system to become totally broken and you may not even be able to use
# "dpkg" to put things back, so only do so if you know what you are
# doing.

Build-essential _packages_. Not the "build-essential" package which very
clearly says its dependencies are purely informational.

No, we are saying that we believe your understanding of the policy is
flawed.
