flex has Recommends: libfl-dev, which _usually_ pulls that package in on
user systems. 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.
