Package: dselect Version: 1.10.23 Severity: wishlist
Would it be possible to split dselect into 2 parts? Currently dpkg depends upon dselect due to some shared files, as it seems. But due to a long chain of dependencies you will get some packages unrelated to dpkg's functionality, like gawk, gcc-3.4-base, or libncurses5.
I would assume that some cleanup is necessary. Surely something that can be postponed till Sarge is completed.
Many thanx
