If you note carefully your package selections within the dselect "selections" screen, you'll note that dselect does NOT unselect packages after it installs them -- if you select xforms, install it (via dselect), and then run dselect, it remains selected as "install". You want to change this from "install" to "leave in current state"; this is probably done by pressing "=" when the package line is selected -- at this point the indicator should change from *** to **= or something similar.
