Is apt-build compatible with aptitude?

[Aniruddha <mailing_list@orange.nl>]

I would like to use apt-build for certain programs.  However I wonder if
apt-build is compatible with aptitude. From what I understand aptitude
is the preferred application (instead of apt-get) because of better
(reverse) dependency handling by aptitude. Using apt-get interferes with
aptitude in that regard. I wonder if the same is true for apt-build.
