Only if you can provide a reasonable way for aptitude to detect that symbols inside apt have changed in an incompatible way. I don't know of any way to do that unless apt declares that an incompatible change has been made (by, e.g., changing the SONAME). And of course any such technique will necessarily be incomplete.
