The default for user systems is to install Recommends as well.
Build processes exclusively install via Depends. So, how did you
test in your VM?

<p>Ah, that would explain it, I did not realise that Recommends was
installed by default. So, for my test, I manually installed
FPC/Lazarus (and in that process go Recommends). Tried to build
from my source package and, as expected it told me it needed the
other things on my dependencies list. But because FPC had already
installed, eg libcairo2-dev, it was not a valid test.</p>
