Start with aptitude(8). Instead of talking about some "aptitude

No, it should not. Query languages are similar, but still are not identical

Greg, earlier your noticed that apt list does not support ~P for

list of packages installed from repositories other than stable (I have a
few ones from testing) finished with "aptitude search" instead of "apt
list" query.
