There's a difference between dependencies and build-dependencies.

mg at platonas:~ $ apt-cache show python-lxml|grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.27), libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.20),
python (>= 2.4), python (<< 2.6), python-central (>= 0.5.8), zlib1g (>=
1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

mg at platonas:~ $ apt-cache showsrc python-lxml|grep Depends
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.37.1), libxml2-dev, libxslt1-dev,
python-all-dbg, python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-9), python-central (>= 0.4.17),
python-pyrex (>= 0.9.4.1-1), python-setuptools (>= 0.6b3), zlib1g-dev
