Package: dpkg
Version: 1.0.5

If I start up dselect, choose "select", and hit return without making
any changes, I wind up with the following screen.  I am not able to
fathom the purpose of this screen, nor am I particularly interested in
removing these packages from my system.  [Of course, it's plausible
that if I removed these packages then re-installed them that this
artifact would vanish....]



dselect - recursive package listing                  +/-=select v=verbose ?=help
HIOS Pri Section  Package      Description
 *** Std text     ispell       An interactive spelling corrector
