Also, if I agree that dependancies can be complex for very big project like Ubuntu, it's more than useful for small projects. (And Launchpad is hosting a lot of them currently).
When 2 or 3 people only are working on a small project, it makes a lot of sense to say that "new feature 1" and "new feature 2" depend on "refactor the main class". Also, I cannot even imagine a free software developper that would say : "Because this bug depend on something else, I will not work on it at all".
So please, add a "depend of/is blocking" field with a free interpretation of its meaning. People that don't like it would not use it anyway.
