Actually, not at this point. Soon, however, apt should handle this as well.
The capabilities are in the new version of ipkg for the iPAQ, which uses a
system based on debian. They want to roll the capabilities back 'upstream'
to apt.

Those wanting one tool for all packaging needs should try aptitude or
synaptic. I haven't used either, so have no idea how they work.

That or apt-get them, so you'll get their dependencies as well.
