Not for new installs. Having things break when you run dselect on just
the Standard system is not an impressive way to do a new install, IMHO.
[I'm referring to the `[I]nstall, [C]onfigure, [I]nstall, [C]onfigure...'
jitters that Apt avoids quite nicely]
My personal opinion is that Apt is *already* the way to go. If the
devteam managed to get it partly done before we'd expected or hoped, I
think we should recommend it as the upgrade method, and include it in
the base2_0.tgz in place of dpkg-ftp.
[Not that I'd know, mind]

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
