Does using checkinstall instead of make install allow to easily remove dependencies?

I'm very new to Linux, so please excuse any *normie* errors/misconceptions. I want to learn how to build programs from source, but I'm having a hard time understanding how dependencies are managed when building. I have read that using
instead of
install
will package a built-form-source program so that uninstalling it is easier (easier as in being able to remove it with a package manager). Does that mean that uninstalling a program [that was installed with
] will also make it's dependencies 'removable' through the package manager (E.g.
autoremove
)?
