Yes, dselect isn't perfect. It doesn't have the most intuitive UI but... It'll also do the most amazing, surprising thing... actually work! Even when I don't expect it to work, it works!
Several times while upgrading from hamm or whatever and seeing a list of 100 packages needing to be upgraded, I've doubted that dselect would sort out all the dependencies, etc. etc. Bam, run Install a couple times and things magically fix themselves. Amazing! Fully upgraded and running w/o a hitch. I'll forgo the useless UI feature set for something that just works. Jae
