Yes, of _course_ it does: both also use dpkg underneath.

If you go back slightly in the archives, you'll find an informative
post from Joey Hess about the similarities and differences between
the various front ends to dpkg, the thread including a rant from me :)

The hierarchy is something like

synaptic -- aptitude -- adept

   dselect -- apt-get

   	apt

	dpkg

where dpkg is the lowest level.
