That's why I was suggesting both. You run dftp at night to get the
majority of the packages you need, letting dftp deposit them in
dpkg-ftp's download area, then you run dselect later, and it notices
that most of the packages it needs are already there, and only
downloads the few more (if any) that are missing....
