Dependency handling is a really useful feature, but I don't like the whole sudo/su thing. How about removing explicit support for sudo/su and leave it to the user to properly configure it for his needs? It could look similar to this:
There is also a couple of patches from Andres P on 2010-06-19 that implement a configuration option to allow the user to configure how to escalate privileges for package installation (specifically patches 2/3 and 3/3). I think that approach is better although I have not fully reviewed those patches yet.
