I thought I made it clear that this had already been done multiple times.
Sorry if that wasn't properly expressed.
I find that if I use apt-get install <packagename>, I get the latest
versin of the package, but dselect lists "stable" versions of all the
packages that aren't installed.
It's very odd.
