     I believe this is a fresh install.  I have recently learned that
dselect automatically selects every package of standard or higher
priority the first time it sees it.  You have to hit `D' (Shift-D) to
make it revert to directly requested packages.  emacs19 and emacs20
are both Priority: standard.

      Personally, I think this behavior of dselect is evil, especially
now that the install script offers preselections.
