One wee problem - apt-get install WTF-is-it-called-again
dselect at least allows you to browse available packages, search, etc. 
Not, admittedly, search the descriptions (*ARRGGH*) but its better than 
nothing. Especially for sid, where things are changing daily....
So I too seek a way to nuke dselect back to current installed pkg 
selection (ie deselect all marked for install but not installed).
Ideas?
