I have a dependency problem. One package (sysvinit) depends on another (mini-rc) being configured. Usually, installing in two steps would be enough, but since I'm aiming to do a SSU, I need both installed in one go. If I install both with "dpkg -i mini-rc...deb sysvinit...deb", sysvinit will complain about dependencies and won't install.
How can I solve this?

Perhaps I'm being thick, but isn't that what apt is for?

SSU is normally done with apt, not dpkg directly... apt would be smart enough to call dpkg in multiple steps here. A pre-dependency, as opposed to a regular dependency, is a very strong constraint (and seldomly used), and dpkg has no code to change the order in which packages are unpacked - that happens in the order given on the command line... it's up to the frontends, like apt, to handle such restrictions on when unpacking is allowed, either by giving the debs in the correct order on the command line, or calling it multiple times.
