The only pitfall in this is that you must not ALWAYS click twice, but
sometimes only ONCE. I don't remember which package was concerned but it was
related to the abscence of a source package (either because the package you
want to install IS a source package itself or because there is no sense in
one source package, because it does not contain anything but redirections).

OK but its VERY simple to miss a "Skip" in a bunch of "Keep"s ;-(
