Me neither, not quite sure really exists. The problem is: how do I
instruct dpkg to desinstall a set of packages and reinstall another set
(including versions: some in unstable, some not, etc...).

Not quite. Let me be more explicit. Suppose you upgrade the package
list, make some selections, and because lack of time, decide to go on
and get out of the selection process. Then you're back to the
main menu. Now suppose you have afterthoughts (e.g. because you left the
selection submenu by hitting return unintentionnally: that's what
happened to me). X doesn't help, AFAIK. And if you simply go back to the
selection menu, you won't see the difference between the new packages
and the ones you decided long ago to be uninteresting.
