To the best of my knowledge, dselect was the first package manager for
debian and is still there for the sake of maybe some packages depending
on it, or users preferring it (for whatever reason, and if only because
they've learned their dselect and don't want to start over with
aptitude).
I'd almost added something about serious-looking dselect and fancy
aptitude, but on second thought it may be that coninued use of Debian
has altered my frame of reference. Though for all I know this may
actually be true on a braille terminal.
