"aptitude why" is there to query the current state of the system, not
some hypothetical state that you might put it into, so this isn't likely
to happen. However, the places where the same logic is exposed in the
curses and GTK+ frontends should probably use the to-be-installed
version if they don't already. It looks like the command-line also does
the "wrong thing" if you ask it for a reason after queuing up an upgrade:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ttf-wqy-zenhei{a} wesnoth wesnoth-aoi{a} wesnoth-core{a} wesnoth-data{a}
wesnoth-did{a} wesnoth-editor{a}
wesnoth-ei{a} wesnoth-httt{a} wesnoth-l{a} wesnoth-music{a} wesnoth-nr{a}
wesnoth-sof{a} wesnoth-sotbe{a}
wesnoth-thot{a} wesnoth-trow{a} wesnoth-tsg{a} wesnoth-ttb{a} wesnoth-utbs{a}
0 packages upgraded, 19 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
Need to get 161MB of archives. After unpacking 246MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] w wesnoth-ttb
Unable to find a reason to install wesnoth-ttb.
If you add --show-why, you'll see that aptitude can compute the right
thing in this scenario; the parameters just need to be tweaked so that
it does.
