Thanks for your comments mate. I never claimed that dpkg and gdebi done any more than just that. I was simply pointing out that in addition to apt-get's functions, there really is nothing that aptitude can technically do that can't be done already with other built-in tools. But as pointed out already, it seems my wish has come true. Aptitude will be included only by default in Server Edition of Maverick.
