That's not necessary. Unless there's a new version of the package
available, dselect will realize that nothing needs to be done for the
package and therefore will do nothing with it.
If there is a new version available, [with the default layout] it will
show up at the top under a heading "Updated packages", and unless you take
action (hold, for example) it will download and install the new version
for you. This is generally considered a good thing.
