Two thoughts to make an install simple:

* Use dselect as now, but tell the users not to make _any_ selections. 
This comes close to avoiding any dependancy problems.   Perhaps we can
elimate those few problems.

or

*  Instead of running dselect at the end of the install, just run a script
which does "dpkg -iGROEB *" in each area.
