Here is what aptitude wants to do again, in case Billie didn't quote it.

All I did was ask it to install firefox.  

art at splendid:~$ sudo aptitude install firefox

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  apturl{a} docbook-xml{a} firefox firefox-3.0{a} firefox-3.0-branding{a}
  gamin{a} gconf2{a} gconf2-common{a} gksu{a} gnome-app-install{a}
  gnome-icon-theme{a} gnome-keyring{a} gnome-mime-data{a} gnome-mount{a}
  libavahi-glib1{a} libbonobo2-0{a} libbonobo2-common{a} libbonoboui2-0{a}
  libbonoboui2-common{a} libcairo-perl{a} libgamin0{a} libgconf2-4{a}
  libgksu2-0{a} libglade2-0{a} libglib-perl{a} libgnome-keyring0{a}
  libgnome2-0{a} libgnome2-canvas-perl{a} libgnome2-common{a}

  liborbit2{a} libpam-gnome-keyring{a} libpolkit-gnome0{a}
  librsvg2-common{a} libscrollkeeper0{a} libsexy2{a}
  libstartup-notification0{a} libvte-common{a} libvte9{a} libwnck-common{a}
  libwnck22{a} libxres1{a} notification-daemon{a} policykit-gnome{a}

  scrollkeeper{a} sgml-data{a} software-properties-gtk{a} synaptic{a}
  ubufox{a} xulrunner-1.9{a}

using the --without-recommends parameter, it just installs firefox and 
xulrunner.  I am going to try that on my 64-bit 8.10 and see what happens 
with java, etc.
