Aptitude is a fairly niche and highly technical package.
I beg to differ:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkgtools.en.html
Official Debian docs, section 8.1.3 - aptitude:
"Note that aptitude is the preferred program for daily package management
from console".
Sure, that's why aptitude is seeded on ubuntu-server images, is in
main and supported.
Dismissing this as a 'niche' tool hardly counts.
Maybe I was not very explicit - all console applications are "niche"
on the Ubuntu (gui) Desktop. And vice versa, gui-desktop applications
are nice on the Ubuntu (console) Server.
We have aptitude seeded where console is the default interface.
On ubuntu-desktop the default interface is unity with preferred
package management using:
- dash application scope
- software updater
- software center
Depending on the use-case/goal one uses one or combination of above.
AFAIR, Debian was even trying to discourage usage of apt-get in the day in
favor of aptitude before Ubuntu decided to drop aptitude in 10.10.
On Ubuntu Desktop we want to discourage usage of command line =) as
there is no need for that for non-developers.

Dmitrijs.

on a sidenote it would be duplication to add an additional package
commandline tool with additional metadata DBs next to apts. we are short
enough on diskspace on the images (especially on desktop) no need to
bloat that with duplicated tools ...
