GDebi should be able to install mutually dependent packages

Bug Description

At present, if several downloaded files depend on each other, GDebi can't install them automatically, and they either have to be installed in order of dependence, or using something like dpkg -i *deb at the command line.

It would be nice if there was a way of using GDebi to do this automatically, either by selecting all of the packages in Nautilus and opening them with GDebi, or by allowing the user to specify the location of missing dependencies through a file picker.

(The search function is pretty rubbish at times, often it's better to go
