Hi harmax,
Here's a small trick. 1) Open Synaptic. 2) Click on e-fax. and 3) click on Apply Button on toolbar. and voila! EFax gets installed without worrying about those 10 dependencies.

Allright. Your wish granted. Head over to www.autopackage.org and look at this awesome technology.

This is a project which aims to create stupid-proof click and install GUI installers for Linux much in the same fashion of Windows installers. Autopackage installers work on almost all GNU/Linux distributions. I suggest that you visit the autopackage screen shots gallery.
