You can know them by trying to actually build the package in Debian or
by inspecting the source package. In any case, you can also just check:

https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/webkit2gtk

or

https://salsa.debian.org/webkit-team/webkit/blob/wk2/unstable/debian/control

WebKitGtk+ isn't probably the most simple package you can choose to
compile in a Debian distro if you have not done something like that
before.

I'd strongly recommend you to read:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/


Specifically, the parts related to creating and building a Debian
package.
