Review comment:
       Does this change include all dependencies installed in container? If so, it looks good for now.
   This list should evolve if more dependencies are added to container, so we need to make it clear somewhere for developers who add new dependencies to container. 
   
   A minor update to [release guide](https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/website/www/site/content/en/contribute/release-guide.md) is needed. There is a step to check if all licenses are added by checking the number of licenses. Now we expect to see roughly 1400 dependencies. With this change, I think the number is reduced? Then the guide should be updated with a new number or find a better way to check if all expected licenses are included.
