Glad to hear that!

Your assumption is not wrong for dependencies that are necessary to 
build and install Squid. Testing Squid, including testing with "make 
check", is (evidently) considered a separate activity that "squid" 
package build dependencies (installed by "apt build-dep") do not have to 
accommodate.

Should "squid" package build dependencies accommodate "make check"?

FWIW, packaging is not my area of expertise, and I could not find a 
definitive answer in Debian packaging policy documents[1] or on the web. 
I speculate that the default answer is "yes". If that answer is correct, 
then "squid" package configuration should be adjusted to include 
libcppunit-dev as a build dependency. Otherwise, one should not expect 
"make check" to succeed after "apt build-dep squid".
