# man dpkg

works wonders.  :-)  Also from the dselect man page:

    Note that this will not actually install or remove anything, but just
    set the selection state on the requested packages. You will need some
    other application to actually download and install the requested
    packages.  For example, run apt-get dselect-upgrade.
