Package: dselect
Version: 1.14.23
Severity: minor

dselect makes my system swap a lot.

Before starting dselect:

ridcully:~# free
           total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      501140     430544      70596          0       7240     133432
-/+ buffers/cache:   289872     211268
Swap:     353388     141128     212260


While running dselect (it just installs the reportbug package and dependencies):

ridcully:~# free
           total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      501140     494796       6344          0       3332      56480
-/+ buffers/cache:   434984      66156
Swap:     353388     255032      98356


Machine is not a system with low memory (Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3.06GHz, 512 
MB RAM) and not too busy (X+Wmaker, postfix, squid).

I already tried vm.swappiness = 10 instead of default (60).

postfix and squid were idle when I installed reportbug.
