Aptitude is nice, but it only does one fraction of what YAST does. I am not sure of the full extent of YAST, but besides installation/removal of software, it does at least account management, service management/configuration (DNS, mail, etc) and firewall configuration. It a bit like Webmin or AIX's SMIT (YAST has a TUI mode and a GUI mode like SMIT/SMITTY; no web interface). I do not know of anything like it in Debian since webmin was removed.
