Hmm. I don't like this "automatic moving on" even when you get the menu. To leave "Select" you have to press <Return>. If you unintentionally press it twice (eg the keyboard double-strikes, or a slow 386 makes you think you might not have tapped the <return> key hard enough) dselect goes straight into "Install" whereas you might want "Remove" or, even worse, to repeat "Select".
