The current dftp doesn't (I haven't used dpkg-ftp). Currently dftp's better for incremental upgrades (or getting all the new packages so you can do it by hand with dpkg), rather than a complete overhaul. If dpkg supported something like dpkg --dependencies foo.deb (does it?) then it would be fairly easy to handle the simple cases of package install reordering. -- Rob
