Don't get me wrong, I _use_ dselect, and I like it a lot! I've yet to be
converted to the newest & greatest apt frontends, but nevertheless _I_ think
that sooner or later (perhaps for woody+1 is to soon) it _will_ be history.
If not by removal, then by simple not being able to keep up the pace of
apt & cia. This is _my_opinion_. You can (and will) have yours. That's the
beauty of the free world :-)
Cheers.
