The dependencies should be used during the build process to generate the
GTK-DOC API manual.  I've heard before that it is recommended that
everything that is shipped in Debian packages are built from sources to
make sure that it is possible to rebuild generated files if necessary.
I recall this is common for other packages with GTK-DOC manuals too.
