Perhaps you could get away with giving your script the name "aptitude" and
placing it in a directory that is searched before the location directory
where the real 'aptitude' is located. e.g. put your 'aptitude' in /root/bin
and put /root/bin at the head of PATH.
I don't know how well this plays with sudo. YMMV
