Yes.  Of course, you'll first have to install it from the command line:

apt-get install synaptic

Not without effort.  From their front page:

http://www.getautomatix.com/

"Automatix2 is a free graphical package manager for the installation,
uninstallation and configuration of the most commonly requested
applications in Debian based Linux operating systems. Currently
supported are Ubuntu 6.10, 6.06 and Mepis 6."

Also, despite the claim of Debian-based distros, their installation
instructions are entirely for Ubuntu-based distros:

Which can be good for e-mail instructions, but a pain for giving verbal
instructions.
