It's a by design. scratchbox only "provides" build-deps for
dpkg-checkbuildeps. Thus what apt and dpkg see continues to match
exactly what is installed in the target. So even if scratchbox
provides "perl", it should still be possible to install it to the
target.
Suboptimal, yes, but nobody has become up with better scheme either.

That depends what exactly you are trying to do. If you are merely
trying use something like "apt-get build-dep", you might instead
want to look at "pbuilder-satisfydepends --scratchbox" [1].
If you are trying to install a build-tool "foo" that depends "bar"
that is available in a devkit, you might want to instead extend
the devkit to include "foo" as well.
Thirdly, if you really want to falsify the information, you can use:
/scratchbox/devkits/debian/sbox-list-packages.sh -c
