just in case it's not clear, if you package everything and dump the tars into a directory, then there's no listing everything, just maintain the install_requires listings for each project. it's just this: pip install --find-links=/local/packages my-top-level-app==X.Y but if you don't package, and pip stops processing dependency links, then yes, you will end up putting all the vcs urls into one requirements file per top-level app.
