     I think this would be a mistake.  This would make all MTAs,
except the one anointed as standard, become extra.  I think conflicts
should be permitted in common, optional and extra.

     If we could take the automatic installation of standard out of
dselect, then conflicts within standard should not be prohibited.

     I don't understand this.  Even in the dark ages PA (Pre-Apt), I
could install any Debian package without going into dselect.
