ncurses based frontend for apt-get, which allows browsing, searching,
installation, upgrades, anything you want to do with your packages, plus
it is able to remeber which packages were installed just to satisfy
dependencies, so when they are not needed they are automatically removed
as well). I know about apt-rpm, but aptitude still doesn't work with it --
mornfall (aka Peter Rockai aka prockai<at>redhat<dot>com) is working but
so far without much success AFAIK.

FWIW older versions of aptitude do work with apt-rpm, eg
eg http://www.haxxed.com/rpms/aptitude-0.3.3-1.src.rpm

AltLinux has a newer aptitude with their apt-rpm but it requires a one-liner patch that's not yet in upstream apt-rpm: ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/i586/SRPMS.classic/aptitude-0.4.1-alt1.1.src.rpm
