What does choosing "Manual Package Selection" allow me to do, versus choosing one of the other options?

Check out the Ubuntu Server Guide, under Package Tasks:

Manually select packages: Executes aptitude allowing you to individually select packages.

(Aptitude is a Text-User-Interface for package administration)

On Ubuntu 16.04.04 it seems to do nothing. After choosing this option the system starts installation and then reboots without ever giving a choice for individual packages.
