I've seen either that page or a quotation of it. As it is 
from an "Installation Guide", the author's intended audience 
is a range typical end users, not someone wishing to make a 
tool for a very atypical end user.

What I'm looking for is similar to the dependency info used 
in the background by synaptic etc.

Pages similar to 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/desktop-base or 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gdm3 would be closer to 
what I'm looking for.
