I am afraid, it might confuse users that you get different results
when using dselect instead of apt-get or in the first installation.

Installing a task package should result in a deterministic, equal
result, no matter how you install it.

Maybe I see this as a too big problem, and we should use more than
Depends?

On the other side: Is a package really relevant for a task if it
doesn't fit into the Depends category?

I am not sure about this subject.
