Both synaptic and aptitude maintain extended package info outside of the shared APT database (which packages are explicitly picked for installation and which are automatically pulled in), but as that extended info is specific to the tool, sometimes using a different tool cripples the info. So, in short, is this cool new feature tied to synaptic or apt-get? Ideally this should invoke some wrapper overridable through the /etc/alternatives mechanism...
