aptitude does call out newly available packages, though it considers a
package 'new' until the new list is explicitly cleared (with 'f'). My
usage with aptitude is generally: update available packages ('u');
expand newly available packages category ('['); install anything I
want out of that list ('+'); clear new list ('f'); expand updated
packages category ('['); examine, resolve conflicts, go ('g').
As far as I'm concerned, though, dselect is a perfectly usable tool; I
mostly use aptitude these days out of peer pressure. :-)
