I believe, that "apt-get install <package>=<version>" works as
well. Or: "apt-get install <package>/<distribution>" with
distribution = stable or testing or unstable. No need to switch
to aptitude, IMHO. But let dselect rest in peace :~)
(Another common aptitude advantage was its automatic handling of
orphaned packages, but apt-get does the same since some time.)
