Hmm, perhaps Joe User should use aptitude? I know aptitude did not make
it into base, but how about a note during installation pointing towards
its existence, like "If you encounter problems with dselect, try
'apt-get install aptitude && aptitude on the command-line' or similar?

I have not installed Debian for a long time, so I don't know what
percentage of user will use dselect (You can choose/refuse to run in,
IIRC?)

my 0.02 cent,
