Automatix2 or not

There has been some recommendations to use Automatix2 for installing packages, such as java, flash, and others, from the users list, not to mention sites like 'The unofficial Ubuntu Site'. Some say that it may cause problems with dependency's . Others say it's ok if the package doesn't contain dependency's. Is this true?

If true, and your new to Ubuntu such as myself, how do you know which packages use dependency's and which don't?
