Yes (I only use dselect with apt.) What I meant was that quickly seeing
and then installing recommended packages all at once was a feature of
dselect that I found missing in just using apt-get. Actually, I don't know
why dselect has such a bad rep. Extremely useful from an informative sense
in package installation or just plain package browsing.
