Re: DSelect Suggestions...

This is called:

  dpkg --get-selections [<pattern> ...]   get list of selections to stdout
  dpkg --set-selections                   set package selections from stdin

And would need a simple "read/write selection list file" menue with
selection single list-files. This is how it is done in a lot of commercial
applications. You can supply a few pre defined files like: minimal
installation, www-server installation and so on. Users are able to add new
lists with customized selections of packages. Perhaps an unselect feature is
needed?

Greetings
Bernd
