The first time through, categories are displayed along with packages that
will be installed by default.
The second time through, no packages are displayed. If I click on Base,
it shows all of the packages, as if this was a "Full" display but only
the previously selected packages are actually selected for installation.
If I hit Back and then Next, the display is "normal". Only the packages
that are auto-selected for installation are displayed.

I don't see the word "base" anywhere that looks pertinent in the cinstall
directory. I do see this in the default_trust function in choose.cc, though:
if (pkg->category && !(getpackagecategorybyname (pkg, "Required") ||
getpackagecategorybyname (pkg, "Misc")))
I wonder if this is my handiwork. This is the mechanism that would choose
things, right?
