The Debian method could be useful for downloading a package but it is
really irritating and distracting when you are installing the whole
distrib from CD.  You are prompted and reprompted until you end not
knowing what you were doing.  In fact many times I was prompted when
in fact I had from the start the intention to install the dependency
only that the package depending on was shown before the dependency.
An ergonomic disaster.
