I have confirmed this issue with Aptitude 0.4.4-4 running on Debian
etch 2.6.18-6-686. Below are my results from both aptitude and apt-
get. I also use Puppet for management and would like to see this
problem fixed.

And now with apt-get instead of aptitude:
joey-18ABF00D:~# LANG=C sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -V install
inexistant;echo Exited: $?
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package inexistant
