Thanks for the warning.
I have been using aptitude for seemingly "forever" now, but it's good to
know the behavior is changing, since I'm sure it'll confuse *someone*
out there, and a few of those someone's might call me wondering Whiskey
Tango Foxtrot is going on. :-)
I remember thinking the same thing when I finally broke my dselect habit
and forced myself to learn aptitude years ago, they don't act exactly
the same when it comes to suggests/recommends and it was confusing at first.
