Bug Description
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_
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.

You can use the tool "gdebi" for this for now. It uses libapt as its backend.
