AFAIK that is a correct assumption for Debian based packages. The only 
additional dependencies needed should be for features *not* enabled in 
the package.

This failure is quite a surprise to me. That said, I test the Debian 
"squid" package with "apt" not "aptitude" and there are some unexpected 
algorithm differences at times.

The Debian/Ubuntu packages should since the package creation runs "make 
check". The "apt build-dep squid" should pull in everything necessary to 
build the relevant squid_*.deb package (except some few essential OS 
packages which should exist everywhere).


libcppunit-dev has been listed as a squid dependency for many years. So 
I would not be surprised if some ancient Ubuntu (circa 2010 or such) 
showed this behaviour, but certainly not the one you have.
