Unfortunately not. AFAIK only aptitude has this feature, and only when 
you also used aptitude for installing the packages. For exactly this 
reason I have started to learn and use aptitude exclusively for package 
management. It took a little time to get used to its text UI, but now 
I'm very happy with it.

cheers,
