dselect-upgrade and upgrade do different jobs. Package selected with
both are different, also without running dselect.
When I install woody currently I cycle dselect-upgrade/dist-upgrade/upgrade
more times in order to have a working systems. Moreover, I preinstall the
new perl, libc6, debconf, apt, apt-tools if I'm doing a potato-to-woody
update. This works always for me.
