Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.34

I accidentally hit '_' on a very large sub-heading within dselect (I think it 
was "installed packages")... this, of course, immediately bumped me to the 
dependencies resolution UI.

I quit out of it by using 'Q', but upon re-executing dselect it had the same 
set of packages selected to be purged.

It would be really great to have a feature that effectively either undoes the 
last change OR, better yet, updates the state of all the packages to the 
current state of the system-- i.e. removes all purge/add requests and adjusts 
the state of everything to whatever is currently installed.

(Eventually, I found the packages stuff in /var/lib/dpkg and undid the damage 
by using yesterdays package status file-- in this case it worked because i 
hadn't installed anything for a few days)
