You ask what you want, apt-get/aptitude/?? figures out what you need
and installs it all.

Because you're using "unstable"?

I don't know. I just searched for them both in Woody (stable) and
they're there:
(0) keeling /home/keeling_ apt-cache search quota
...
quota - An implementation of the disk quota system.
(0) keeling /home/keeling_ apt-cache search netselect
netselect - Choose the fastest server automatically.
