Yes, there are. And they could change anytime.
This list sounds kind of fragile. I would guess that there are other ROS packages (which are build with plain CMake and not catkin) which have no other ROS package dependencies.
Why not check if any ros-<distro>-* packages is installed since that is what would cause the problem of not being available in a newer Ubuntu distro? Depending on the output of e.g.
dpkg -l | grep ros-<distro>-
Basically checking if the output is empty or not.
