deity is APT's development code name, and just they are the same :> Deity is also the codename for the APT Native GUI that never got finished. Currently APT proper superceeds all execisting dselect methods and integrates them all under a common interface and lets you mix and match them freely. APT proper can also interface with dselect as a normal dselect method would, it has 5 native front ends (apt-get, Corel Get It, GnomeAPT, Console APT and Aptitute) APT still uses dpkg for the package installation..
