Yes.

        apt-get install <packagename>

will get all dependencies as well.

If it complains, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

	deb	http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
	deb-src	http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

	deb	http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
	deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
