Those are transitive dependencies of badger and get already installed
before building, see e.g. this build log for amd64:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=syncthing&arch=amd64&ver=1.9.0%7Eds1-2&stamp=1600901129&raw=0

However as I wrote in another bug report related to badger: I think
badger should be patched out
(https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/syncthing/-/merge_requests/2).
It's inclusion in Syncthing is an experiment (as in users need to set an
env var to enable it) and a pretty much failed one at this point (badger
releases often fail on non "mainstream" architectures, which is a
non-starter for Syncthing).

Best,
Simon
