Not so much dselect, but dpkg yes. I have a dialup connection and
sometimes I download a package over more than one dialup session, save it
in a directory and install it with dpkg.
I have tried apt, but could not get it to install a package from a
directory on my hard disk - which is frustrating. It seems to me apt is
looking for the same directory structure that the debian mirrors have and
I am not going to mirror the whole structure on my hard disk.
