The source package description [1] says:

Build-Depends-Indep: python (>= 2.4.3), python-dictdlib (>= 2.0.4), 

so it looks like it uses Python to make the binary package. 

The description includes... "This is formatted for use by the
dictionary server in the dictd package"

So I'd guess that if you had dict/disctd installed you could use just
intsal dict-moby-thesaurus from Debian 10 and it would work. No python2
needed.
