You may install binaries, if there are those available for your
packages. Also, sometimes binaries are not as up-to-date as source
packages.

I usually use FinkCommander for installing packages. It does have a
GUI for installing source and binaries. I don't know how do install
binaries with dselect or apt-get, but I am sure that it is possible.
The best way is to read the man pages.
