Package: dpgk
Version: 1.4.0.19

Since the NFS-mountable distribution sites have their
Packages-Master files in the indices subdirectory, and since
there is no longer a plain Packages-Master file, dselect is
very awkward to use with NFS sites.  It is necessary to
specify the main, non-free, and contrib subdirectories
individually.
