This means that I start out with dselect and then add aptitude. When I first switch to aptitude, after tellin it to automatically select depends packages, I go down the list of installed packages and any package that I don't explicitly want (manual), I mark auto with 'M'. I only have to to this once and then I don't have to worry again about deleting things. Aptitude takes care of things from then on.
