Ditto. For me, the most important aspect of actually doing an installation is having dependencies get pulled in automatically. For example, if you're doing automatic continuous integration testing, or automatically building local::libs or debian packages for deployment on lots of machines, you've got to have some kind of automation for dependencies.
