Proposal: dump dselect for console-apt

[Matt Porter <mmporter@home.com>]

Why?

* dselect has a poor user interface.
* dselect causes strange dependency comflicts that apt does not. (case in
  point, loads of internal potato powerpc testers have lots of different
  dependency problems with perl4, dpkg-perl etc.)
* console-apt is in good enough condition to follow the task-selection GUI for
  power users.
* console-apt's bugs can be squashed easily even though the maintainer isn't
  responding to them.
* Non developer Debian users *hate* dselect with a passion and avoid Debian
  because of it.

I'm sure some will say it's too late, but it would be a real shame to ship
potato with a package management tool that ruins the entire install
experience.
