What is better about dependency management on Ubuntu vs. other distros?

I assume it is all just a matter of naming what you want and having all the necessary pieces installed -- on any distro?

I am running Arch Linux right now, and the difference is primarily that things get updated faster -- and Arch by design doesn't install optdepends (since you might not want them).
