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.
