I don't know the details, but Daniel seems to be a bit overworked (busy
with real life problems?), judging by the lack of activity. And since
aptitude is essentially a one-man project…
Anyway, you could ask on the aptitude-devel mailing list
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/aptitude-devel/).

There is nothing new currently, but with a multiarch enabled dpkg¹, and
when you choose to enable (say) both i386 and amd64 architectures,
aptitude has a few rather serious usability issues (actually I'm a bit
surprised that it works at all in such a setup).
