That's what we wanted. Closing this bug again. The fact that it doesn't keep track of new packages is tracked in #551638 and is not release critical for us.
What about the "it also marks some of them for installation although I do not want them" part of the original report? That makes dselect unusable. Is it not enough to be release critical? Am I missing something? Puzzled. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
