Hi, Daniel!

Sorry for late answer, I was not able to reach my workstation to test better 
new patch. What I did today: 
I disabled the hack mentioned in bug description, run aptitude and it showed 
"Suggest 228 removals 27 keeps." That is because after last update I did (don't 
remember exactly if I used apt-get or aptitude) aptitude was reinstalled from 
official repo so patched version was replaced.
Then I used dpkg -i to install patched version. After installation I've run 
aptitude again and it suggested only 4 removals and 29 keeps. I decided to let 
it to proceed with update even being noticed that it wants to remove skype 
4.0.0.7. Pressed SHIFT+1 to apply solution and warning disappeared. In general 
I would say that update looked as "normal" not taking in account skype and 
ia32-libs which were removed. The main thing I've noticed that it didn't want 
to remove qt-gui stuff which is necessary to get skype to work.
After update went successfully I downloaded new skype package from skype.com 
i386 version and installed it. Everything went OK!

So here's is *definitely improvement* for me and disabling the option in 
/etc/apt/apt.conf did the trick for me!
Thank you very much for your work! I'm now able to use aptitude again!
