Bug#166198: dselect: Use apt-build instead of apt-get to install



Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.4
Severity: wishlist

Now that apt-build is in such a useable state to make fast machine 
specific packages automatically, and since it uses basically the same 
commandline arguements as apt-get (at least for installing packaged), 
it'd be nice to have the option when installing from dselect to use 
apt-build directly instead of apt-get. Then, when new package revisions 
come out, or when working with a ton of different packages, you can 
build to your architecture directly and automatically.
