The last serious change required for aptitude + multi-arch is to
improve the command line handling. I refer you to [1] and [2] for the
complete details. At the moment most commands do not support a very
useful syntax for multi-arch and are variously inconsistent with their
documented behaviour, each other, and the apt-utils.
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/685731
[2] http://bugs.debian.org/687474
The fixes for this have been in experimental since July. The minor
update presented here contains some of those needed to support the
rest in the next release.
I fully expect that next release to be the last one required to have
an aptitude with acceptable multi-arch support in Wheezy.
Changelog:
* [all]: Support for matching architectures using specification
strings and wildcards (for example, "linux-any"). See
Debian Policy section 11.1 "Architecture specification
strings" for more details.
The support for this is available in libapt-pkg. The apt-utils
support this syntax. This update is limited to ?architecture search
terms, and command line support (“pkg:linux-*”) next release.
Backported from experimental.
* [cmdline]: Fix typo which prevented installing tasks using the
apt-get compatible syntax ("aptitude install
gnome-desktop^").
Minor fix. Makes command line syntax (of install at least) more
compatible with apt-utils. From experimental.
* [cmdline]: Do not assume that APT::Default-Release always provides
the candidate version of a package, instead use the
policy defined by apt_preferences(5).
(Closes: #587775, #631464, #686316)
This is the behaviour documented in aptitude(8), broken at some point
in the past. This is a non-invasive change that greatly improves the
consistency of the commands with each other and apt-utils. Also from
experimental.
* aptitude-doc-en:
- Update for default value of APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant
which is "true" since apt 0.8.15.3. (Closes: #685310)
- Correctly reference APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant and
SuggestsImportant which do not contain any hyphens.
(Closes: #579071)
Trivial fixes to the documentation.
* Translation updates:
- Czech (Closes: #681693)
- French (Closes: #680040, #685084)
- Polish (Closes: #678153)
- Russian (Closes: #686016)
- Spanish (Closes: #686752)
* Depend on newer version of libapt-pkg-dev for architecture
specification string support.
* Use xz compression for all binaries. (Closes: #687294)
Sundry.
That concludes the changes covered in the attached debdiff.
You will note that the debdiff contains:

The two cacheset files never were released. They made their way in to
POTFILES while developing during the last cycle.
I have also attached another patch which is entirely optional, but of
notable value to end users and relatively non-invasive. It brings in
support for APT::Changelogs::Server which apt-cache and others have
been using for some time. Previously we hardcoded the default value
of that. Please also consider this patch and give it an ACK for
inclusion if this is ok.
Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration.
