Bug#545366: dselect 1.15.4 does not distinguish between new and old packages

[Piotr Engelking]

reopen 545366
thanks

dselect 1.15.4.1 (with dpkg 1.15.4.1) still does not distinguish
between new and old packages. This makes dselect mostly useless on
upgrades and completely useless on adding new repositories.

The only difference between 1.15.4 and 1.15.4.1 is that former marks
new and old packages as new, and the latter marks new and old packages
as old.

That's what we wanted. Closing this bug again. The fact that it doesn't
keep track of new packages is tracked in #551638 and is not release
critical for us.

Please use the other bug for further discussion.

While the change was, indeed, intended, it doesn't change the fact
that it does nothing to fix the problem.
