debfoster vs aptitude (was: Re: Stripping KDE)

True. But I remember aptitude had this all-or-nothing feeling to it; if
you don't use aptitude from the beginning, this functionality is rather
limited, and you're commiting yourself to installing via aptitude in the
future - you can't quickly `apt-get install` something with aptitude
keeping track. (Hm, now as I think of it, you should be able to
`aptitude install` the same thing.)
Please correct me if I'm wrong on the above; I repeat, it's just
a feeling, I haven't used aptitude more than a couple of times.

kdelibs4, I believe. But debfoster (and aptitude, when used
consistently) are much more universal and seem clearer to me.
