Because "aptitude dist-upgrade" didn't work for upgrading my sarge desktop to etch... it was unable to compute a solution while apt-get did just fine. And this even if I tried to help him by indicating which packages to remove and which packages to install. And dist-upgrading involves lots of installation of new packages... and removal of old packages. I aptitude dist-upgrade regularly in my sid chroot without troubles. But upgrading from one release to the other is almost impossible with aptitude only, in particular if you have many packages installed with some who have been removed from Debian in the mean time and so on.
