Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13

Every once in a while, I want to install a .deb package that is not part
of the Debian distribution.  Currently, I install it with dpkg, see what
dependancies show up as unmet, then use apt-get to install the required
packages.

It would be very useful if apt-get would recognize a .deb package name
and deal properly.

For example:
  apt-get install jpilot-0.95-1.i386.deb

... would offer to install any missing (or outdated) packages needed by
this package.

Thank You,
David H. Silber

P.S.  This would also simplify the installation directions needed for
such ``external'' packages.

This works in experimental, with a path.
