I use the latter exclusively. I'm told it's confusing, but I can't see how anyone uses dselect effectively at all, so I guess it's a question of perspective. Of course, whatever you use, you'll have to install it using the first command. Unless it's dselect, which is installed by default, I think. Other handy features: apt-cache show pkgname apt-cache search srchterm
