About package managers and depends & suggests

[Larry Alkoff]

Using Feisty Fawn Kubuntu.

I use the following package managers:
   apt-get		to install packages
   aptitude -vv show	to check about an uninstalled package
   synaptic		when I want a gui - infrequent
   adept			don't use it because of unreliability.

Which of the above automatically installs depends and suggests?
Which do not or require some command line options?

I've read the man pages but do not clearly understand how depends and 
suggests are handled.

Normally I just 'apt-get install' but gnumeric seems a lot more 
complicated than most and I'm nervous about hurting my nicely 
functioning system.
