Please make debi use apt to install packages if apt is new enough
(apt 1.1~exp2 or later) to support directly installing .deb files.

This will reduce confusion from people who don't know they have to
run apt-get -f install after running dpkg -i foo.deb

I would only do it with new enough versions of apt to ease backports.

There probably needs to be an option to switch back to dpkg -i too.
