I don't think they should be part of it at all but anyway...

Check-All-The-thingS:

You can blame paultag/zack for that.

I haven't yet found a way to resolve recommends to a definitive list of
package=version tuples and that would probably be undesirable anyway,
so the WIP patch creates a fake .dsc containing a Build-Depends line
with the requested check dependencies in it and passes that to apt
build-dep, but unfortunately that installs build-essential, which would
be too much in situations where build-essential isn't installed yet.
