What JD meant is that every time you run dselect, cron _again_ recommends
a mail again. It's a pain in the butt. I declined once; why did I keep
having to say no to that choice every time I install something completely
unrelated?
Probably dselect should show recommendations only when the user changes the
status (selected vs. non-selected, etc.) of one of the packages involved
in the recommendation.
