I have a stupid question... Working with dpkg this weekend I found that dpkg
will show you the package info for the .deb file you are installing (or are
fixing to install) - if this information is stored in the .deb file itself,
why do you need a Packages file?
dselect need it for
source. Understanding
the many configuration files are easier though. The most important
ones are covered in books about linux, and many have online
manpages as well. (man fstab will provide information enough
to understand the /etc/fstab file, for example.)

I don't think so.
I recommend doing an apt-get update
then run dselect and get the new X packages you need manually. Then
