Not to sound picky, but it holds a list of the names of the depended 
packages, and not the depended packages themselves. It may sound dumb, but 
to someone who doesn't know package managers, it might not be obvious.

That's sooo much a 21st century conception of "manual".

When I was born, "manual" was all about punching holes in cardboard and 
feeding it to the card-reader. However, when I actually started 
programming, "manual" was about having to press Play at the same time and 
listen to the sound of files recorded at 600 bauds, and pressing 
Fast-Forward to skip over them, and having to listen to the files to count 
how many had been skipped over and reading the sleeve to make sure I got 
to the right file. It was not as manual as splicing tapes though.

I mean, one should marvel at how much something like dpkg is automatic :)
