dependencies in dselect...

["Alan Su" <alsu@beowulf.ucsd.edu>]

is there anyway to permanently override the "suggests" form of
dependency in dselect?  i have a system on which i want xbase
installed, but not an xserver.  every time i run dselect, it insists
on changing the status of xserver-vga16, xfntbase75, and xfntbase100
(i think those are the ones) to "install".

i've put these packages on hold, but that doesn't seem to help, it
just goes ahead and resets the status.  what's the right way to do
this, other than remembering to hit "Q" instead of just the Return
key...

thanks.
