Dselect will not order the packages correctly. Installing out of order may result in an unusable system (reparable by a second installation and rescue disk or a complete reinstall). I believe the instructions are given in an order that will not result in a dependency problem. Also, I believe the mirror's format has changed, so pointing dselect to unstable may not work as expected. All of this is from other messages, I plan on actually doing the upgrade later tonight myself.
