It seems that apt-build does not clean up after itself as it should when\
specifying the --remove-builddep option.

I ran the following:

apt-build --remove-builddep --rebuild --reinstall install wget

It then installed the build dependencies

autotools-dev debhelper html2text info2man libssl-dev

However, they remained installed after apt-build had finished building and
installing wget. I had to purge them manually using "dpkg --purge ...".

Best regards

The problem is caused by the not assigned @builddep variable.
This variable is used for removing the (newly) installed packages needed for building but was never assinged in the first place.
Changing the line
  read_apt_list($conf->apt_get . "...
in the function sub builddep to
  @builddep = read_apt_list($conf->apt_get . "...
fixes the problem
