Thanks for taking the time to submit this report. A feature such as the
one you request, is available through gdebi. in the command line, if you
type:

sudo gdebi xxx.deb

the package will be installed, along with all the dependencies. A front
end gui exists too, gdebi-gtk.

Since this functionality is already available in Ubuntu, I think this
bug should be closed. However, I will leave the last word to the apt
team, as such feature may be implemented in apt itself.

Thanks again.

** Package changed: ubuntu => apt (Ubuntu)
