2. It does that sometimes, doesn't mean you have to let it do that though. I guess those problems are more common with multiarch as the package system seems to require the libraries on the different architectures to have exactly the same version number.

7. It's kind of obscure. I guess I still have to set up aliases to do apt-get install; apt-get mark auto and somesuch things in order to actually start using it regularly.

10. I guess if you are using dpkg manually, you are waay out of line in the first place. Of course that is what all the beginners do to begin with. My experience suggests that a new Debian user needs to wreck an installation or two that way until he/she has acquired enough experience to not do this in the future. There sure is room for improvement in the sense of offering further guidance on what to do if apt-get -f install doesn't work, though that may be difficult to get right as it does depend on a lot of more or less known variables.
