It's not missing but it's uninstallable in sid together with the other
build dependencies, specifically libgsl-dev.

  Reading package lists... Done

  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:
  
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libgsl-dev : Depends: libgsl23 (= 2.4+dfsg-4) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: libgslcblas0 (= 2.4+dfsg-4) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
 
This is due to gsl breakage/uncoordinated transition, see #869778 .
