That would be true if, and only if there was _one_ deb to install, in
which gdeb would by used, not dpkg.

Out in the world of Joe Sixpack, autoexec.run on the CD/DVD/BluRay is
the program that installs software.

By that token, there in no need for _any_ program, on any os, other than
emacs.

That lack of knowledge makes it imperative that that how to install the

To do otherwise is to alienate the program from those that are dipping
