One thing that could be more than an annoyance with dpkg/dselect is that
dpkg does not check before unpacking files, and seemingly only after
unpacking the files notices the dependencies, etc. Wouldn't it be more
intelligent altogether to check first, before unpacking?

"if a close inspection should show that the supposed hand-wrought
spoon were in reality only a clever imitation of hand-wrought goods,
but an imitation so cleverly wrought as to give the same impression
of line and surface to any but a minute examination by a trained eye,
the utility of the article, including gratification which the user
derives from its contemplation as an object of beauty, would
immediately decline by some eighty or ninety percent, or even more"
