This stands out for a start! (from a quick glance.):
"dpkg - kind of the predecessor to apt, but is still used for some
functions"
hint - dpkg is *always*¹ used to install a package.
Also, only diehard masochists use dselect :)
There is no mention of aptitude (the info is old.)
¹ There *may* be other esoteric ways, but then you would not be reading
that site if you knew about them.
