I'm not sure of the most elegant way.

In the command line I'll use -s for simulate the install to see what will be 
installed.
I'll also use the 'without-recommends' to get the depends list.  ie:

aptitude install  libslang2 --without-recommends -s

else I'll head over to http://packages.debian.org/squeeze
and append the url with package I'm interested in.  ie:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libslang2


I'll be interested in the more experienced users responses.
