Currently APT proper superceeds all execisting dselect methods and
integrates them all under a common interface and lets you mix and match
them freely.
APT proper can also interface with dselect as a normal dselect method
would, it has 5 native front ends (apt-get, Corel Get It, GnomeAPT,
Console APT and Aptitute)
APT still uses dpkg for the package installation..
