It's a pitty that there is no real english team which could check the
"original" for grammer, punctuation and so on. I learned it this way
(by doing, e.g. reading and talking to people, not formally at school)
that the the british do not add a comma after "e.g." or "i.e.", while
the americans do. Well, I did not check what kind of spelling you used
in that man page. But still it would be nice if these issues would be
consistent, at least within one document.

What I really wondered is that the man pages still stress dselect so
much. I remember (correct me if I am wrong) that dselect is not
maintained anymore, and I vaguely remember that the installer in
potato days dropped me into dselect, but nowadays it is not even
mentioned in the relase notes that dselect exists (and lest that it
should be used).
So from a pure user perspective dselect might still carry some
importance, but as an admin I never used it for years and rather used
the other tools to customize ("tweak") an installation. But this might
just be me ...
Greetings & thanks for your work for l10n of dpkg.
