Well, maybe you should depend on it, as lots of others do.
I'm not sure if it would solve the occasional problem that I

Anyways, I seemed to have uncovered a rare case where things will go
wrong, when one does dpkg -i * on several files at once.
If I'm correct, then gnus should depend on dpkg too, as it also uses md5sum

Or maybe dpkg should notice it is also upgrading itself, and thus
upgrade and configure itself all in one step before configuring other
files from the dpkg -i * command line.
