You're right.
aptitude install package
aptitude search searchstring
And I agree with you about finding dselect easy to use (which I never did)
and aptitude hard when, in general, they use the same keys. + to install, -
to remove, _ to purge. h is hold (dunno if that is in dselect), and instead
of remembering "ok, Q to get back to the menu"... or was it Z? Anyway, "g"
for.... go! Go, do it now, go!
