You're confusing a few things here. Deity will still use standard .deb
files, and it doesn't involve doing away with .deb files, dpkg, or dselect.
It is designed as another program that does what dselect does, but there are
certianly enough people who like dselect that dselect will be kept.

Debian is dpkg and .deb files and the whole system of developers. No one is
planning on doing away with that[1]. Deity is just an alternative dselect-like
interface.
