dpkg is low level package management. apt-get is a convenient tool that
solves dependencies and much more. aptitude is a gui front-end to apt-get,
the same as dselect was/is.

aptitude wasnt multiarch ready a while ago, but didn't look at it again.

The missing dselect feature for this problem we reported is the
--set-selections plus 'do it' sequence.
