Loop to check whether a Debian package is installed or not
I think what you really want to know is: How can I install missing packages without the overhead of just apt-get install a b c? Or do you really care whether they were installed before?

Loop to check whether a Debian package is installed or not
Sure: 1. it improves readability for those not knowing every short argument. That reduces the probability to misunderstand a command. 2. This (slightly) reduces the probability that different versions of the command will interpret an argument differently (unlikely for dpkg and apt, but happens a lot for e.g. ping). If you use a long argument you will get an error message instead of the program doing somethign else.

I strongly recommend to use long parameter names in scripts, that is apt-get --assume-yes --quiet=2

Deleting text selection in VNC cuts it instead of deleting it
Does this also happen if you only select the text without deleting it? Then it could it be that the vnc server is pushing the X selection to the clipboard.
