Oh? Try reading aptitude's man page. The question isn't whether aptitude
is feature-complete (it is), but whether it implements those features in a
way compatible with the rest of the toolchain (it doesn't).
I wouldn't care, not in the least, what aptitude did... if it wasn't being
pushed as a be-all-end-all tool. Otherwise it'd be as ignorable as
synaptic is.
