dpkg, dselect, apt... what's what?

Can someone give me (us) some definitive answer (or pointer to one),
how the packages selection/installation process will work in the
future?

I mean, there's dselect... but I understand it will be replaced.
When?  How can one help?

Then there's dpkg... and apt/apt-get.  Will the coexist?  Or will apt
really replace dpkg?  Or apt replaces dselect and apt-get dpkg?  Or
what?

Any clues/info/pointers very welcome...

Bye, J

PS: I just d/l'd apt 0.1.9's src... will look into it.
