Thanks for the context. If I'm understanding #826048 correctly, that bug describes non-fatal warnings about optional dependencies. Here, the additional -dev packages are necessary for libopenslide-dev to be useful at all, so it seems to me that libopenslide-dev should add dependencies on them. I've filed #1146883 to discuss further.
