The problem with mixing aptitude with apt is that aptitude will

This is because aptitude labels packages as either automatically
installed or manually installed. If you have installed some packages
using eg apt-get, you should be able to mark all installed packages as
manually installed before using aptitude. The command from the man page is
aptitude unmarkauto
Unfortunately, I do not know which argument to supply.
# aptitude unmarkauto *
seems to look at every file in the current directory, not just packages.
Has anyone got a solution?
