So, it turns out this is surprisingly tricky. The problem is that the
aptitude initialization process runs a mark-and-sweep before the whole
package system is ready. That seems very dicey to me, but the comments
seem to indicate that it's necessary to force apt to behave properly
with auto flag

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.2.1-2
aptitude's resolver will *still* upgrade held packages, due to an
interaction between the dependency solver and unused package removal.
Unused packages are removed before dependencies get solved, and
sometimes the dependency solver has to put a package "back"

It would be easier to answer the question if you provided specific
examples of packages that apt-get didn't install and aptitude did. A
full copy/paste of the upgrade preview from both programs would be
particularly helpful.
