I'm the maintainer of this one. Maybe it could be merged in dselect
itself, it would make more sense IMO.

Maybe we could do the same with this one, given that the goal is to
have dselect a separate source package at some point in the future.

As I said, I'll take care of this part. Give me your comments and I'll
take care of them (we should maybe create a wiki page for the API
cleanup).
I'd rather that you concentrate on the rest (we seem to have a surge of
people coming up with patches that need to be reviewed/enhanced and
possibly merged :)).
