A very good question which had plagued me in my initial Debian days.
Go to http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages/ and do a search on the
package U want to install.  Say, I want to install gnome-core and I do a
search wherein a return list of all the packages needed to satisfy
dependencies is shown.  

U can also go into the .deb package with 'mc' and read the INFO file
using F3.  Dependencies are listed therein and voila......
