That's what I meant, too. [0] Well, updated packages are separated and
listed as "Upgradable", but dselect does that as well.

[0] well, it's really "new since the last time [1] you cleared the list of
new packages, unless you told it to clear that list every time you
quit", but that's a mouthful.
[1] The first time you start the program, no packages are marked as
"new", because marking every package as "new" would be useless.
