Ok, the problem is that Robert did;

apt-get build-dep linux

and apt tried to be smart and selected linux-meta from the list of binary packages, as linux-meta source generates a linux package, so it didn't got the intended list of deps (deps from the source package 'linux', not from linux-meta)

Doing "apt-get build-dep --only-source linux" does what was intended.

Not sure this can be fixed or enhanced in some way in apt or some change to the packaging could avoid this confusion for other users.
