Really? To keep the use of dselect in the instructions?

I vote for using another method for installing dependencies. I know its an
overreaction, but I don't get the point of sticking to dselect anyway. If
generating the deps list during install (read using a script for either
triggering apt-get or printing it) is problematic, I'd rather provide qa'd
copy and paste super big apt-get oneliner in the INSTALL.* files.
