Because you should verify what changed in terms of split or renamed
packages and changed dependencies. Also, contrary to some previous
poster's "nonsense", recommends: and suggests: is there for a reason.
This is not about dselect, it is about proper care when upgrading.
You need to read all the release and upgrade notices as well, in fact
you should do that before touching dpkg, apt-get or dselect at all.
