Yes, if you are using handbrake from experimental. Aptitude's interactive dependency resolver is very useful for this. You can mark handbrake as manually installed, then press `e` and eg. reject (`r`) the proposed removal of the cheese package and `.` to go to the next suggested resolution. Though probably handbrake has some dependency not compatible with installed packages, so there may be not acceptable solution without finding a backport or compiling yourself. http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s02s04.html
