I think you'll find that it was in fact dselect. Up to and including
sarge, you were dumped into dselect with a selection of packages
already made, taking into account which sources you had selected.
However, this doesn't affect the intent of this thread. By the time
you got to this installation step, the base system was already
installed and you had rebooted (the "smoke test", remember?), so
the init system was already up and running.
Cheers,
