We should be able to simply mark a package as in 'hold' 'uninstalled' 'purge' state and dselect should respect that and do not try to change the purge to 'install' because of a Suggests. dpkg-dev-el should be in dpkg-dev Suggests: field. And dselect should be fixed to not change the status of a held package because of a Suggests field. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
