Misc problems with quantal

[Dale Amon]

A couple broken items in quantal...

First off, I also have been bit by the dselect
problem discussed in 

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1066847

I always use dselect unless I am only installing one or two 
packages. I just do not particularly like aptitude, etc.

Second, I am getting hit with a blinking screen even in
virtual terminals on a quantal amd64 server build. Terminal
is an ADI ProVista attached to a KVM.

Eventually the screen seems to go to sleep and I cannot
get it to ever come back.

I have modified /etc/default/grub to get

	# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
	GRUB_TERMINAL=console

which I assumed would shut off any graphical silliness,
but it seems to have had no affect.
