Neat tricks, but I usually need to refer to that info *after* I've installed my shiny new packages, and there's frequently more output than will fit in the scroll buffer. I think I'd rather tee -a the output to a file. ...After thnking about it a bit, It looks like I need to run deselect and quit before the install step, then run deselect install | tee -a dinstall.log or similar. Will apt have logging capabilities? I haven't messed with it yet.
