Thanks for the feedback. gdebi does resolve dependencies, but only if
they exist in a repository. Some packages downloaded from the Internet
will depend on non-repo packages, so I'll reword it to make it clear
that those packages won't be installed automatically.

I removed the notes on installing from a tarball (and RPM), since
they're not installation techniques I think we should be recommending to
general users. I think we should probably cover these on the wiki
instead.

Thanks again,

Phil
