Maybe it's a size thing and squeezing what they can on to the CD. aptitude is 2.1MB on my system compared to 115KB for apt-get. I never use it but aptitude will run as a curses application allowing you to select and deselect packages. Which may explain it's size. I tend to use it as a direct alternative to apt-get.
