That was not my intention. Sorry if I made it appear that way.
If I want to address an issue to someone personally, I'd put that person in
the To: field, like I have done now.
If I want to address the 'general public', I sent it to the list.
The `dpkg --set-selection` command imo 'messes up' the packages state as it
they all get marked as manually installed and therefor it was for me related
to what I said above that in my previous mail.
