There is also apt-find which is an ncurses package navigator but not quite as handy as dselect (does not show package description on the same screen, you must go to information screen separately. I liked that feature because I could navigate and watch package descriptions rather than names) and there is gnome-apt which is a navigator for X. The latest apt-find appears to work well enough as of last night. I have not used gnome-apt yet.
