Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
A really useful enhancement to apt-get would be to allow the
installation of .deb packages, but with apt's clever abilities.
For example:
apt-get install ./some_custom_pkg.deb
would install it, provided it isn't already present (similar to dpkg -iE), but
with the advantage of doing dependency resolution, and automatically
downloading the requirements.
For comparison, Mandriva's urpmi tool does precisely this.
