Can't really understand the question either.
Just two days ago I installed Netscape Communicator with dselect which
in fact seems to do good work in resolving all dependancies and
prompting you to choose the needed packages.
I tried the same with dpkg but ran into one dependancy problem after
the other because this app just installs and does not assist in any
way. So I gave up.
When you are sure which packages are needed for a app - dpkg does the
faster job
