OK, now I know why we misunderstood each other :)
Normally using apt-get, myself, the first place I turned to when needing
this one particular feature, I did not actually check the results of an
aptitude run, but went through the manpage of aptitude, instead. Based
on what I read there, I assumed the feature was missing completely.
We can close this bug, but I would request you add a short line to the
manapge to reflect aptitude install's behaviour. I will not close the bug
myself, as you might want to keep it in order to track the new request.
Thanks for the report.
Added an explanation about this in the "install" action in the man page,
so marking as +pending.
