Please backport aptitude 0.6.8.1-2ubuntu1 (main) from quantal to precise.

Reason for the backport:
========================
aptitude 0.6.6 as provided with precise does not support multiarch properly. This means that if multiarch is used, aptitude cannot be used properly, and is potentially dangeous because it can suggest bogus package uninstalls. 0.6.8.1 as packaged with quantal solves this problem.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise apt
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise aptitude
