Bug Description
Binary package hint: ppa-purge
Because of LP: #641142 "aptitude" is now a dependency of ppa-purge. In recent Ubuntu versions, this package is no longer installed by default, because everything it does can be made by apt-get instead.
Now, trying to install ppa purge makes the user install aptitude, even when the program can use apt-get. This behavior should change, and ppa purge should use the package manager that is installed on the system (either aptitude or apt-get, it should check on run time).
