You seem to grossly misunderstand what DLL (and shared library) hell is.
It has nothing to do with downloading dependancies when installing your
software, it has to do with conflicting dependancies already installed.
Synaptic can't solve that.
An example would be one version of a library requires foolibc 2.2.2-patch1
while another requires 2.2.2-patch15, and you can't have both installed at
the same time (you can have multiple major versions, but not multiple minor
versions). Installing 2.2.2-patch15 breaks app1, while app2 won't run with
2.2.2-patch1.
