I see no sense in installing aptitude to upgrade packages when apt-get is
already there. I just had a quick look into ansible apt module and have to say
it's a bit messy. It's utilising apt-get for dist-upgrade and aptitude for
full-upgrade. Probably this should be pointed out to ansible devs as suboptimal
solution.
