this is where running dselect once is useful.
dselect will select every packaged marked as "standard" or higher,
whereas apt-get doesn't do much with package priorities (except when
working out some conflicts)
you could probably make up a grep-dctrl | apt-get command that would
do the job, if you were really against dselect (and/or jeff)
