[Gllug] installing dpkg and apt on a non debian system?

[Ian Norton]

Generally what i was thinking, my mail concern was debian's dependancy
resolution, is it entirely script based or does it check to see if the
dependant packege is installed (ie target file exists) against the packages
list or where it is just there anyway?
