I've had good experience on sid with:
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99local-aptitude-no-removals
// tweak Aptitude to not suggest removals as first option
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost "removals";
See #570377 for more information.

Re: -dbg packages; are they actually useful?
Hi, I am particularly interested in automatic debug packages, as the current situation is pretty messy imho. I found https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages. Does anyone know the status of this? Will this be a goal for Stretch? This and reproducible builds would make Debian the perfect distribution for me. Whats in the way of making it happen? Lack of people willing to do it?

Yeah, well, the interactive windowed-text-mode ("curses") interface is why I
consider aptitude the Debian package manager, although you can probably get
access to all of its functionality from the command line. There was also a
GTK-based GUI mode, but I never tried it and I don't know if it still exists.
I should have written "interactive text mode" instead of "CLI" in my first
reply to this thread. When I looked at the resulting thread a few hours later,
there wasn't any real reason to reply as others had already made all good
for-and-against points for aptitude ;-)
The subtle window interface of aptitude's interactive mode might cause a lot of
confusion at first, so first-time users really should read the aptitude manual.
Since I nearly always use the interactive mode, I never really bothered much
with the quirks of the aptitude dependency solver: after what feels like more
than a decade of using it, I don't even notice anymore that I skipped to the
second or third suggestion before hitting "G" (go). That would explain my
blind side to its idiotic "first solution" choices, to the point I didn't even
bother to try to configure it to be less bloodthirsty.
The truth is that way too many of us got introduced to aptitude _a very long
time ago_ when it first became a viable alternative to dselect. It is simply
impossible to describe the kind of permanent impression aptitude made when it
delivered us (old-timer DDs and Debian users) from dselect. We don't even
consider people might not know about it or how to use it :-( so it really
ought to get some new blood to enhance the docs, add first-time-user landing
pages, etc.
aptitude needs some love to update its defaults at the very least, that's for
sure.

aptitude lets you search on it (?archive(), such as
unstable/stable/wheezy/proposed-updates...), and you can configure it to show a
column with the archive of a package, not just its version. And it will list
all available versions of a package and which archive they come from if you
select a package from the list.
In this era of wider displays (even text-mode), it would make a lot of sense to
change its default display filter to include the archive by default.
FWIW, here's the display format I use in aptitude (changeable through the
Options|Preferences menu, item "The display format for pacakge views"):
%c%a%M%S %p %Z %20v %20V %10t
Try that, tune the two "20" and the "10" to something that fits well the width
of your text terminal.
