If I'm not mistaken, packages dropped from one release to the next will be displayed as "obsolete" in dselect and don't think it is unreasonable to ask users to watch out for those when they do an update to a new Debian release. In fact, it seems much preferable than displaying the package as a choice to users who aren't stuck with it yet.
