To quote a friend, "Apt makes deps deprecated."

Basicially, apt will download and take care of the dependencies for you,
as long as you use the apt system (apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg, etc.). I
recently converted my webserver from an LFS install to Debian and am much
happier -- especially since compiling packages on a Pentium 75 isn't very
much fun. =op
