It's an interesting thought. The installer gives you a bunch of preselected options, and then you go into dselect. If the installer made dselect *optional* if the user selected a preselected list, this might make the steep learning curve disappear while still offering lots of flexibility for people like me who always select "Custom" on Windows install programs.
