I think there should be better ways to know these things, and hope it'll change a bit soon. Is there somebody keeping officially an eye on these things that can add a link or modify where necessary?
I'm totally not expert, but if I understand well, somebody voting for a package should automatically know on which other packages it depends and thus vote them too?
Excuse me if I said something wrong or deriving from my inexperience..

And voting can be done only on the webpage of the package right? nothing integrated with the application manager?
