The installation manual is a good place, as is debian-reference, as are the man pages. You may find it easier to install the aptitude-doc package and read its comprehensive manual. Aptitude has two modes: first, as a drop-in replacement for apt-get, but second, without any parameters it gives you a screen with menus where you can search for packages, select any package and see info about it (dependancies, etc), install it, or update and upgrade the system.
