Maybe my last response was a bit to strong and rude. Excuse me.
Please make sure to propose tangible alternative if you make critical
comments Let's keep discussion constructive one.
I will replace NOTE: with the new text. (Done in git.)
Although `aptitude` is a very nice interactive tool which the author
mainly uses, you should know some cautionary facts
- The `aptitude` command is not recommended for the release-to-release
system upgrade of the `stable` Debian system after the new release.
- The use of "`apt-get dist-upgrade`" is recommended for it. See
http://bugs.debian.org/411280[Bug #411280].
- The `aptitude` command sometimes suggests mass package removals for
the system upgrade on the `testing` or `unstable` Debian system.
- This situation has frightened many system administrators. Don't
panic.
- This seems to be caused mostly by the version skew among packages
depended or recommended by a meta-package such as `gnome-core`.
- This can be resolved by selecting "Cancel pending actions" in the
`aptitude` command menu, existing it, and using "`apt-get
dist-upgrade`".
