I think so [1]. It works now, thanks.
[1] What happened is new Packages.* files made it crosslink before
packages themselves did. So, I was getting heaps of "no such file OR
directory" messages during install

This is a bug. Developers are conversing about why it is happening.

Never mind my previous answer. Tell dselect:
Enter Debian Directory: /pub/debian/dists/unstable
Distributions to get: main contrib non-free
By the way, why are you installing "unstable"? That's for developers only.
If you don't really know what you are doing, it's bound to mess up your
system.
Did you tell it your distributions were "dists_unstable_main"? That should
be a space, not an underbar. Just guessing.

One trick that I have learned is to SELECT NOTHING the first time you run
dselect, simply let it install the PRESELECTED things only. THEN run
dselect again and choose your other software.
