Never.

Sure. But this issue appears with apt and is totally unrelated to
aptitude (IMHO, because apt makes the suggestion, not aptitude). But it
appears frequently. I did not yet examine, which package causes the
behaviour (I guess it's one of the php* packages).

In my experiences, aptitude is more problematic. For me it often made
(really) senseless suggestions, when I tried it for a while. I simply
don't like it (it doesn't fit my needs - whyever).
