Thanks for your suggestion, Rafael. I already created the package and
specified there all dependencies. But the problem is that Application
Manager cannot install dependencies automatically. It just displays
exception. That's why I need to create some kind of installator which will
add repositories and install packages using Application Manager API but
without user interaction.

Regards.
