I have found a couple of times so far that dselect was asked to install a package, it queued the package but failed to install it.
[...] Eventually I found out about apt-get and installed it myself.
If you still prefer to use a program like dselect, try aptitude. It has a more modern-looking interface, and more importantly it keeps track of which packages were installed automatically, like libraries, and removes them again when they're unused.
