So what does it look like in dselect?

Right now, with stable, contrib, non-free and non-US, I see, for
example:

--- available packages in section net ---
--- available packages in section non-free/net ---
--- available packages in section non-US/net ---
--- available packages in section contrib/net ---

Does it merge stable and unstable and just show the newest version of
each package, or keep them separate so I can choose?
