What exactly do you mean "it rolls through every single package on the dist"? If you mean what it sounds like, you only have to roll through every package if you don't know the name (or part of the name) of the package, otherwise just type /searchstring (and then \ to continue the same search) Or do you mean the fact that after you select "install" you have to wait while it checks the list internally? I admit that was a problem when I ran debian on a slow system that did everything from network drives.
