dselect logging

[Keith Harbaugh <harbaugh@math.georgetown.edu>]

One may easily log an apt-get session,
by starting a script beforehand, then using the --quiet option to apt-get
to suppress the periodic progress reports on downloads.

But when I try to operate dselect within a typescript situation,
all the cursor control characters (ncurses or whatever),
while they do great things on a video terminal,
just garbage up the potentially printed typescript;
also, there still are the unwanted progress reports.

Am I missing some simple dselect option that would enable a nice log
of all the configuration action that takes place during an install?

And, the same question for console-apt (capt).

Thanks,
Keith
