Hmm. It remembers selections, but it does not do it by setting values in the status file. Instead, it uses /var/state/aptitude/pkgstates. Oh but it looks like it merges in /var/lib/dpkg/status to that file when it is run, so that's ok. If someone wants to arrange for aptitude to be installed by debootstrap as part of the base system, I will be happy to make base-config offer it along with dselect as options for the second-stage package selector. But this needs to be done really quickly if it's done at all. When did aptitude become such a nice peice of work?
