I was going to suggest installing aptitude-dbg, but...

...do you mean etch or lenny? If you really mean etch, then
aptitude-dbg is not available. You'll have to run apt-get source to
fetch the aptitude source and then compile it with debugging symbols.
(./configure && make should do the trick, once you install the
build-deps)
