  May-be, but it's too late now...

   This shows manually and automatically installed packages.

   I get 2220 packages, (and 995 with "~i~M")
  Anyway, as the upgrade with apt-get worked perfectly, for Squeeze
  to Wheezy as well as for Wheezy to Sid, it seems
  useless now to play with aptitde, except may-be for daily maintenance,

  Also, running apt-listbugs give interesting informations
  on Squeeze
     apt-listbugs --severity all list aptitude:
        aptitude(572 bugs)
     apt-listbugs --severity important list aptitude:
        aptitude(40 bugs)
     apt-listbugs --severity serious list aptitude:
        aptitude(1 bug)
     apt-listbugs --severity all list apt-get:
        no bug

  on Sid
     apt-listbugs --severity all list aptitude:
        aptitude(627 bugs)
     apt-listbugs --severity important list aptitude:
        aptitude(50 bugs)
     apt-listbugs --severity serious list aptitude:
        aptitude(1 bug)
     apt-listbugs --severity all list apt-get:
        no bug
