I don't see a problem here.

According to the autopkgtest documentation [1]:

    If no Depends field is present, ``Depends: @`` is assumed. Note that
    the source tree's Build-Dependencies are *not* necessarily
    installed, and if you specify any Depends, no binary packages from
    the source are installed unless explicitly requested.
