Package dependency sets are a complicated beast.  Dselect in fact makes
it easier to manage packages, if you accept the dificulties that are at
the conceptual level.

You can, if you use dselect correctly.

Read the dselect documentation.  Use dselect.  If you do not understand
something particular about it, feel free to ask on debian-user.  If you
have an idea to make it better, feel free to send a patch to the bug 
tracking system.

IMHO "dselect is difficult" is not very sensible to say, vi is
more difficult.  If vi is too difficult, then unix is not for you.
Maybe computers, even.
