dselect displays newly-available packages first, then installed
packages for which there is an upgrade, then other installed packages,
finally packages which are not installed.  It takes a lot of paging to
work your way down the list.

You can search for samba by typing "/samba".  This will find the first
occurance.  Typing "\" will show subsequent occurances of "samba" in a
package name.
