At least a non-obvious behavior. It seems that packages explicitly
selected via the `-P` command line argument are recorded in
/etc/setup/installed.db with `0` in the 3rd column, where packages
explicitly selected via the GUI are recorded with a `1` in that column.
Possibly because setup in that mode can not decide whether each package is
really a dependency or selection?
Do we need a pick fragment e.g. -P pkg=ver#[01] or option --pick[=]{0|1}?
