Exporting http_proxy also works with apt-get and you can see (if you
are quick) that it connects to the proxy instead of alioth directly in
its progress output.
The same should work with dselect and you should check the proxy logs
to see if it does or not. If dselect ignores/unsets http_proxy that
would be a bug.

PS: Do you have your dselect configured to use apt?
