But, this method does not use the descriptions, or dependency lists,
either.  I kind of like that information, as it allows me to see if I'm
trying to install something I don't have the extra files for.

I use this method most of time almost because I'm
take my packages in rex who change quickly.
So, my own dependancies are made from the infos
find in deb files. The only I don't have is
the classification of some files because they're
optional and let to the DM but I got all needed
dependancies.

Ciao!
