The dependencies are not logically missing, but
peculiarly specified. notation.texi “depends” on
internals.texi so that the process leading to
the generation of internals.texi, namely the compilation
of ly/generate-documentation.ly, also creates
the includable files notation.texi needs along
the way.

It may be possible to specify the dependencies
on the individual files hyphenation.texi,
markup-commands.tely, etc. My understanding of
the doc build is too low to even attempt that.

I think they do not cause problems with parallel builds,
but build updates.
