I should probably make more explicit that I'm not a huge fan of the
proposed UI, because it isn't clear that 'Add' is tied to
dependencies; to the casual user it would be easy to confuse this
'add' with the existing 'add action.' But I admit I don't have any
great proposals; the obvious one (moving 'add' next to the text entry
field, instead of under) would make it a very narrow field. Making the
text 'add dependency' would be at least somewhat better. Maybe also
putting it all in a separately colored box to make it clear that they
were tied together? Something like:

--------------------------------------
| (rest of the box)                  |
|     -----------------------------    |
|     | dependencies stuff  |    |
|     |           [add deps]      |    |
|     -----------------------------    |
|                                            |
|     [add action]                    |
|                                            |
--------------------------------------
