Not sure if this is the right place to make the suggestion, but I spent a good bit of the day pulling my hair out wondering where a dependency existed in the world(still looking, but that is another thread:-)

These pages:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...090218.55+0m5/

would be awesome if they provided a "deb https://..." link of an authoritative repository to find the package especially if they don't exist in extras or extras-devel.

If I totally missed the advanced way to track down dependencies in repositories not in your sources.list... please let me know.
