That only has seven reasons!  I also found references to eight reasons,
although I don't suppose there's much difference between seven, eight, and
nine. 

The message to which I referred is available from Google

  http://www.google.com/groups?selm=1NfOB-5Eu-1%40gated-at.bofh.it

I got the "heading" correct, but the message's subject was "Re: To dselect
or aptitude, that is the question".  In the three minutes I spent
searching, I couldn't find the thread in the Debian archives.
