Yes, control.in lists the dependencies that installed with the (debian) package
- and those are the only ones you can actually rely on (installing via pip
might not work everywhere and shouldn't be done anyway for packages the
distribution already can provide).

I don't know of any other documentation (except for the osgeo4w qgis-full*
setup.hint files - that are essentially the same thing [0]) - and if there was
it would problably be old and out of sync.
