Thanks for your bug. I'm not sure than aptitude should have an entry to the desktop menus, it's not a desktopish application

Thanks for your bugreport.

I agree with seb128 here, I don't think that aptitude is something that should show up in the menu. We don't ship desktop files for console applications generally because this would clutter the menu too much (examples: mutt, vim, nano, slrn, etc).
