A nifty tool for this sort of thing is `apt-cache'.  Try running
apt-cache show <packagename> and it will print out the same
information as dselect would, plus a bit more.  Also, you can use
apt-cache search to do a keyword search on the package description
field.  For instance, to find programs to do with NFS (network
filesystem), you might try `apt-cache search nfs'.
