aptitude + dpkg

Given that aptitude is awesome and that all the stuff I want is missing from all the repositories, is there anyway for me to use .deb files and dpkg in conjunction with aptitude. I'm sure they have the dependencies listed inside them somewhere, and it would be brilliant. I'd settle for apt of course.
