	Dependencies exist under Debian like any other system, but they're
addressed pretty heavily via the package management scheme. Doing upgrades
take these things into account, and take a lot of the pain out of it.
I'm not saying it's perfect, any machine with humans in /etc/passwd is
prone to problems, but it's easier than dealing with RPM.
