aptitude-qt would not be possible before squeeze. That would leave us
with no usable Qt4 package manager.

Another strategy is to replace the adept/ept backend of adept 3.0 with
the aptitude backend once it is transformed into a library. It seems to
have become some sort of habit for aptitude to explore new features
before having them ported back to the common apt code.
