Ok. Well then I can not solve this issue unfortunately as no support
exist in aptitude. On the other hand I thought of an option to force
aptitude to be non-interactive (answer itself non-interactively) but
as far as I can see no such option exist.

Maybe I should reassign this bug to aptitude instead.
