I don't agree. dselect may not be responsible for the state of the
archive, but it _is_ responsible for how it deals with it. If the
dependencies don't make sense, then "Hmm... I'll be conservative and
only upgrade the packages that don't cause problems" is a much better
response than "Hmm... I can make it consistent by removing 90% of the
installed packages".
