Because ftp masters are only human too, and can make mistakes. Given that there is no log of the discussion that dererk had with the unnamed ftpmaster, this is very unfortunate, but mistakes happen. That doesn't mean that this it was rightfully granted, and the policy is crystal clear on this, like Vincent Bernat quoted already in bugreport 579102 in message #129, and like I quoted again with the opening of 639778. I don't see any need for bringing in any ftp master for explaining a clear statement from the policy that packages in main aren't allowed to build-depend on packages outside of main.
