Specifying a release for dselect



Is there a way to specify a default release (e.g. woody or stable) for dselect?

 

I read the instructions for setting the default release for apt.  (i.e. add APT::Default-Release "stable"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf).  However when I add an apt line for unstable to my sources.list file and run dselect, dselect seems to ignore the default release and want to upgrade every package to the unstable release.  This happens before I select any packages.  apt-get is honoring the default release, but dselect seems to ignore it.

 

Must I abandon dselect (or constantly unselect hundreds of packages), if I want to run a mixed system?
