That's a duplicate of #145257.

It used to be a lot worse, but has recently been fixed for binary-any
so only build dependencies for binary-all packages are left affected
by this bug.

I have an eye on the relevant pages for testing and unstable and file 
bugs on a nearly daily basis, but for testing-only issues there is 
usually no point in filing bugs far outside a freeze.

I'll start the bug filing for buster from early next year,
just like I did for stretch.
