dpkg install and extract options - are they different from installed files' point of view?

Hi there, just a simple question - if I use dpkg -i option, does it do anything extra than resolving dependencies and extracting the packages? In other words, if I know about the dependencies of my packages, simply using the -x (extract) option, would I get a working installation for a package?
