Dselect in that respect works fine for me. I am however upset with dselect
when using cdrom/mounted access methods. In those cases dselect does want
to see all of the packages mentioned in Packages file present. Even those
that you've chosen not to install. It also ignored symlinks across
filesystems. I had a slightly broken CD-ROM distribution and the only way
around was to copy the whole distribution onto the hard drive. Symlinks
from hd to cdrom were ignored and dselect wouldn't work if some package is
missing. Perhaps this is already fixed, I've used "stable"(1.4.0.7)dpkg
back then.
