Talk to the admin contact listed for each machine at
http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi. This is usually debian-admin, who've
been pretty responsive any time I've asked them for build-deps, although
when possible I generally try to avoid having to bother them by
installing build-deps in my home directory and hacking include paths.
This often makes sense when experimenting but obviously wouldn't be a
good idea if I was building a package for upload.

You need root privileges to chroot.
