When you choose a package in dselect, it also automatically selects all Recommended packages then asks for confirmation, presenting a list of all (preselected) Recommends (along with any previously unselected Suggests mentioned by the package).

I agree, it would be good to have a mechanism to query users in this way,

It's a bit hard to see how we would implement that, though, with the current
Fink structure. About the best that could be done would be some kind of
pre-install script which asked the user a question, such as "This package
no longer contains xaw3d support; you might want to install the other
variant instead; are you sure you want to continue? [Y/n]".
On the other hand, some users might get annoyed that they have to answer
this question whenever that package is installed...
