It looks like a bug caused by the sloppy way that the version to be checked is determined in aptitude. aptitude searches based on the version of a package which is "to be installed", which means that it won't notice any packages that aren't already installed. I can fix this by changing InstVerIter to CandVerIter on line 300 of cmdline_action.cc, but I want to check whether I did this for a reason first so I don't reopen another bug :-).
