  Hi,

  The page you referenced is automatically generated from information
contained in the .deb file.  Even if I wanted to change it, I couldn't.

  libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2 is a virtual package, provided by the most
recent version of apt.  Because of this, "apt" is listed among the
dependencies of aptitude.  However, it would probably be useful if these
webpages noted when a dependency was via a virtual package, to reduce
this confusion.  I'm reporting a bug against www.debian.org with this
email, so someone will take a look at it.

  Daniel
