Just a question : do u think it will be very hard to implement it ? in fact with this tool u just need to browse. No installation or removal, no need to show packages dependencies ( even if it may be very interesting a little bit as with dselect ), no ... In fact it is very complicated because this tool is usefull only if you can see the dependencies of the package ... Finally u may be right, it will be a hard job ...
