Mind you that with testing, dselect would regulary **anyhilate** my
system if I used it. Every other day it is trying to remove half of the
installed packages due to some funky-update-of-the-day-basic-labrary.
It might be that dselect is usable for people who use stable, since it is
not a moving target and is supposed to have balanced-out dependencies. But
fully relying on it with testing is *not possible* (!). And see, Gustavo
*is* updating to testing.
