This is very interesting! However, from that spanish screenshots, it is not totally clear to me how this works. I see a download progress bar, is this part of aptlinex, or already some other application? Did you consider using gdebi for installation (which has been developped with installing a single .deb including its dependencies in mind, I think). Once deployed in stable, it would be very nice to have apt:// links on packages.debian.org for easy installation after browsing/searching through (maybe along with some fancy icon like you see for the 1-Click-Install from OpenSuse on some blogs).
