You could probably try "Q". I don't think dselect passes any force options
to dpkg, so if it's really dangerous, it won't work anyway.
I learned to use that, because every time I use dselect it discovers I need
to upgrade my libc6, and therefore it selects libc6 - even though the libc6
it can see is the libc6 I already have installed.
Umm, let me start over: I have a few slink packages, and a hamm libc6, and
dselect is looking at hamm. Since something needs the slink libc6, dselect
decides to install the hamm libc6.
